10.Without
Easter ……………By--
Joanna Fuchs
Without Easter,
there would be no hope of heaven.
Without the hope of heaven,
there would be no repentance,
no personal transformation,
no attempt to follow biblical principles.
Without Easter,
the world would be in chaos
and darkness.
Jesus’ death and resurrection
means we can be reborn,
to live better, to do better,
to shine light into the shadows.
Hallelujah!
Happy, Happy Easter.
11.THE LAMB OF GOD…………………By--
M.S.Lowndes
Jesus Christ,
the Lamb of God
Who takes away our sin
He came the sinless Son of God
To cleanse our hearts within
He hung upon the
blood-stained cross
Thinking of you and me
Dying like some hardened criminal
His body in agony
His blood flowed
down from the cross
His body tormented with pain
He cried out to His Heavenly Father
But it seemed no answer came
People stood and jeered at Him
Mocking to the end
Who Jesus was and why He came
They couldn’t comprehend
Their hearts were
indifferent to the Lord
Their consciences grew ever cold
His mother watched on - unable to bear it
As the sword pierced through her soul
As you try to grasp
this picture
The pain that Christ went through
Remember that day you were on His mind
He endured it all for you
Just so you could know His love
And forgiveness for your sins
To know His resurrection power
And to have His life within
He cares that much
about your life
He endured the cross for you
Like those who jeered, or those who loved
With Jesus – what will you do?

12.THE
BUNNY TALE………….By-- -Del
Aby Jones
I thought it was a kitty cat
But saw it was a rabbit
He was hopping down the trail
And then he stopped to sit.
He looked back at me
And wiggled his nose
Seems he wanted me to follow
So, I quickly arose.
I started down that trail
Amongst the forest's trees
As that rabbit scurried off
As quickly as you'd please.
He stopped at the next bend
He once more looked at me
And as I moved nearer
He turned once more to flee.
I moved deeper in the forest
It was dark and kinda silent
I looked around the trail's curve
To see where that rabbit went.
He sat in an open clearing
Of clover covered ground
Amidst a group of creatures
That had gathered around.
They all watched me warily
But, they didn't turn to run
The rabbit said, "Come join us.
Come join in our fun."I asked, "
How do you speak?
Am I losing my mind?
If I close my eyes and look again,
I wonder what I'll find?"
He said, "You're in our world now,
And if you'll truly believe,
You will be amazed at things
Your heart and mind perceive."
You will see life as it should be,
If you'll take the time to look.
You'll find all those stories true,
As told in the fairytale book."
"You'll see we live in peace,
And nearly perfect harmony.
You'll learn what it really means
To be happy, safe and free."
I sat down with legs crossed
And said, "Please tell me more.
This sounds like the very place
That I have been searching for."
I'm tired of all the hassle
Of this world in which I live
Where they all think, I want to take,
When I only want to give."
"It's a plastic/cardboard place
Where nothing's really real.
Where so many things are only said,
Without the will to feel."
"So, if I like it here with you
Will I be able to stay?
Or will you force me to return
To where they play those games they play?"
He said, "Humans are so foolish!
They are filled with hate and greed
They rip the life from the Earth
After they've planted it's seed."
"You say you want to stay with us
But, that can not be allowed,
For if we welcome one of you
Before long, there'll be a crowd."
"We will let you stay for awhile
Try to teach you what we know
That this World can live in Peace
And then, you'll have to go."
But then I awakened
And realized, I'd dreamed
But I can't get over how real
That Easter Bunny seemed!
