Was it a Morning Like This

Was it a morning like this

When the Son still hid from Jerusalem?

And Mary rose from her bed

To tend the Lord She thought was dead

What is a morning like this,

When Mary walked down from Jerusalem?

And two angels stood at the tomb,

Bearers of news she would hear soon.

Did the grass sing?

Did the earth rejoice

To feel you again?

Over and over like a

Trumpet underground,

Did the earth seem to pound:

"He is risen"

over and over

in a never ending round

"He is risen, alleluia, alleluia!"

Was it an morning like this,

When Peter and John from Jerusalem?

And as they raced for the tomb,

Beneath their feet was there a tune?

Was it a morning like this,

When my Lord looked out

On Jerusalem?

He is risen, alleluia, alleluia.

Sentence Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Son to earth as a baby so many years ago.  Thank you that He paid the punishment for my sins by dying on the cross.  And thank you that He rose again to prove that death was truly defeated. I place my trust in You to be my Savior. Guide me through the dark times of my life Christmas prayer and give me courage to live for You.  Amen
