They watched Him perform deeds
of wondrous love;
They knew His power came
from God above.
Yet we (you and me, folks!)
just led him to die;
In the dark of a tomb
our Savior did lie
But then in another flash
of great power,
I saw Him arise--
death conquered that hour!
He was robed all in white,
with radiant glow;
He stood in great splendor,
this Savior I know.
His eyes with loving
compassion shown,
I knew in that moment
I need ne'er be alone.
His hands were outstretched
as this One bid me come;
The work of redemption
forever done.
I stood there in silence,
in humble awe,
As the Reason of Easter
I now clearly saw.
Then quickly
as the scenes had appeared,
They faded--
I felt not one moment of fear.
I bowed low in worship;
earth's sight now so dim;
I had seen Easter's meaning;
I had been there with Him.
As I saw Him, with faith's eyes,
lifted above,
The night before Easter
was filled with pure love.
And I heard him exclaim as
He rose out of sight,
"A Blessed Easter to all!
I have conquered your night!"
'Twas the night before Easter on
Internet Lane;
From New York, to Russia,
spring Holidaze reigned!
Computers were linking from
Disney to space;
And folks were resolving
the Easter Egg case!
The kids were entranced by a
techno-theme,
While visions of dinos
appeared on the screen!
And Mom dyed the eggs,
while I searched the Net,
For flowers to send her--
or in trouble I'd get!!
When swiftly, my Mac
began such a clatter,
The mouse shrieked in horror,
"MS Explorer", what's the matter!"
Away to my window,
I jumped with great speed;
A break for sore eyes,
I surely did need!
I saw flowers of spring
beginning to bloom,
I welcomed the view f
rom my computer room!
When what to my wondering eyes,
did I see,
But a Stranger stooped low,
on bended knee.
With a quick glance I knew
'twas a backflash of time,
I envisioned the form
of my Savior Divine.
More rapid than eagles,
my memory raced,
To another time
and another place.
Where Christ, Lord of all,
called each one by name--
"Follow Me," was His Word,
and they willingly came.
