Think of Him

When you see the Easter bunny's
Fur so snowy bright;
Think of how Christ took our sins
And washed them snowy white.

When your Easter bonnet
You place upon your head;
Think of how they placed on Him
That thorny crown so red.

When you tint those Easter eggs
With stripes of every hue;
Think of all the stripes He bore
Upon His back for you.

When you're hunting Easter eggs
And searching everywhere;
Think of how they searched the tomb
And found He wasn't there.

When you see the Easter lilies
Decked in stately grace;
Think of our new bodies
When we gaze upon His face.

When you spend this Easter,
Think of His love for you;
For Jesus is our Easter!
He makes our lives brand new!

-Connie-

Therefore if any man be in Christ,
he is a new creature:
old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new."
(II Corinthians 5:17 KJV)
