MY FATHER AND YOUR FATHER

The women disciples had watched where Jesus was laid;

Their dawn-visit to His tomb was a beautiful love displayed.

They were all ready with spices and oils for their beloved Lord;

But they came to an empty tomb! Jesus had been raised by God!

 

They went away to inform the Eleven about the empty grave;

Mary, grief-struck, did not know what to believe, or how to behave!

Then she heard an unmistakable voice and she spun around;

She saw her beloved Master and He was well and sound!

 

She ran to Him with joy and clung to Him with all her heart;

The Lord had risen and never more would He ever depart!

Then the most beautiful and precious words were uttered;

“I go to My Father, and your Father-” Faith is all that mattered!

 

Faith in the Lord Jesus raised from the dead brings immense hope;

We can face the darkest trials and know that we can more than cope!

The power that raised Jesus from the dead belongs to God alone;

Thank God that we may speak of the Risen Saviour as our very own!
