'Rejoice, Rejoice! ' (Early Easter Poem) Poem by Linda Winchell

“Rejoice, Rejoice! ” “For Jesus has risen from the grave! ”
His Father placed Him in the womb of a virgin
Then His life for us on a cross one day He gave.

His Father said that He would rise up
Then, in three days ascend, unto His Father’s home.
He is not where you now look for Him
He has rolled away the tombs, heavy stone.

While Mary was in the garden’s yard
She had seen Jesus walking there.
While others were in such deep sorrow of loss
As the King’s guards on watch, slept un-aware.

“The King of man has risen! ”
He did the job that was meant for humanity to do.
He died upon a cross at, ”Calvary”
He seen that His mission was complete
And He did this all for me and you.

So if you too seek after Him
You needn’t go to the tomb to see.
Just kneel down before the cross in prayer
Asking God’s forgiveness
Where He now, can always live inside of thee.
