Bright, brilliant blossoms bud and bloom,
Amid the deepest, darkest gloom,
His tomb, so dark and cold and gray,
Like winter in a cold cocoon.
His tomb so dark and cold and gray,
Surreal silence on springtime day,
Our King sleeps still; hope lies slain,
By friend disowned, denied, betrayed.
Our King sleeps still; hope lies slain;
On Easter morn, no more constrained.
Arise! dark shadows shrink away.
The King forevermore shall reign!
Arise! dark shadows shrink away,
Bright, brilliant flowers join the lay,
“All praise to Christ, the Risen King”,
Proclaiming joy in springtime day.
“All praise to Christ, the Risen King”
Break forth in joyous music; Sing!
“Love once was slain, no more to die”
Death trampled; ‘lasting life He brings.
“Love once was slain, no more to die”
Love bursting forth; O hope, arise!
One day we’ll meet Him in the skies.
Redeemed are we by God Most High!

It is amazing to think about Christ's resurrection! It is not just something to remember on Easter. The resurrection is fundamental to our faith (1 Corinthians 15). It is not just something you celebrate once or twice a year. Daily we need to remember what Christ has done for us. Remember, He is risen!
