Holy Week

Easter is a special time
Full of joy and mirth
Because of Easter
Man can have a second birth

On Maundy Thursday, we commemorate
The Last Supper you see
In the garden of Gethsemane
Jesus prayed and sweated blood profusely

On Good Friday
We solemnly recall
Jesus trial, torture, and crucifixion
His death and burial

Jesus was a sinless sacrifice
We are redeemed from all sin
By His precious blood
He was our propitiation

Jesus hung on the cross at Calvary for six hours
He cried out, “It is finished!”
Jesus gave up His spirit and died
At 3pm, the earth shook, and the sky darkened

On Holy Saturday, Jesus lay in His tomb
We meditate on His sacrifice with anticipation
Jesus went to Hell to preach and set captives free
Would He conquer death, Hell, and sin

Roman soldiers guarded the tomb
On Easter Sunday, Jesus’ tomb was empty
What does this mean, you may wonder
Jesus had resurrected, proving He is God Almighty
