This is the
day He suffered,
This is the
day He died,
The day that
He was martyred,
The day the
angels cried.
This is the
day the soldiers jeered,
When they
nailed him to the cross,
The day that
foolish people cheered,
Not aware
of their great loss.
This is the
day the doves flew away,
The day that
His blood ran free,
This is the
day mankind was saved,
This day at
Calvary.
This is the
day of heartache,
The day of
sacrifice,
This is the
day He led the way,
Into Paradise.
This is the
day we need to pray,
We need to
fall upon our knees,
This is the
day we need to say,
Father, forgive
us, please.
If there had
been another way,
Do you think
He would have died?
No other man
could take his place,
Not even if
one tried.
God did not
ask for volunteers,
But even if
He had,
Would you
have said, "Take me instead?"
Folks would
have thought you mad.
None of us
was good enough,
To take His
place upon that cross,
None of us
was rich enough,
To have paid
that high a cost.
It's hard
to believe a loving God,
Would sacrifice
His Son,
But, it had
to be that way, you see,
He was the
only One.
He took our
sin along with Him,
As directed
from above,
None of us
so generous,
We would offer
that much love.
He said He
would leave the tomb,
He would ascend
to heaven,
Three days
later He was gone,
Hallelujah!
He Was Risen!
Brother, you
could not substitute,
You could
not take His place,
He took yours
- the only way,
God's most
amazing grace.
This is the
day the doves returned,
The greatest
day on earth,
The day the
stone was overturned,
The sign of
man's rebirth.
This is the
day He left the tomb,
The day the
angels hailed,
This is the
day the lilies bloomed,
The day to
lift the veil.
This is the
day that Mary's tears,
Upon her cheek
were dried,
The day the
angels quelled her fears,
By singing
He's alive!
This is the
day that Christ was seen,
Walking on
the road,
In the flesh
- no, not a dream,
In a white
and holy robe.
This is the
day He spoke aloud,
Hear, see,
touch - He's real,
The day He
rose up in the clouds,
God's truths
for man revealed.

Tribute to Ginny
"Why
do you look for the living
among the dead? He is not
here; he has risen! Remember
how he told you, while he
was still with you in Galilee:
'The Son of Man must be delivered
into the hands of sinful men,
be crucified and on the third
day be raised again."
Luke 24:5-7
