Easter Verses For The King
What a joyous season Easter is! What a precious time of year spent celebrating our Savior’s victory over sin, death and hell for us! I couldn’t help but write something that tries to capture the joy and victory of Easter. If you want, feel free to read Luke 24, and Revelation 7:9-17 which provided some of the material for the poem. May God bless your ongoing celebration of Easter and Christ’s victory for you!
All is dark and drear and still
The grave draws near, where tears will spill
We bring our ointments and perfume
Oh who will open up his tomb?
But shock and terror twist within
An empty tomb…they’ve taken him!
Angels bright astound us more
We bow our faces to the floor
But never have we heard before
Sweeter words that shock us more
“Why search the graves for him who lives?”
He died. He rose and He forgives!
Running feet that pound the dust
News that’s bursting out of us
He died. He rose. He lives again!
Dead and gone are Death and Sin.
There is no victory so great

No sweeter hope to celebrate
Than the one God won that day
And proved that Jesus is the Way.
And so when we, with tears and sighs
Are forced to say our sad goodbyes
As death’s cold grip steals close at hand
And takes a member of Christ’s band
Then all seems dark and drear and still
The grave draws near where tears will spill
Oh who will open up this tomb?
The one who broke its power and gloom!
A lamb is in the Shepherd’s arms
A soul is free from all that harms
A white-robed saint is waving palms
Blending voice with thundering psalms
And one day soon the earth will shake
The sky will shred, the dead will wake
And all will see and bend their knee
And praise the Lamb who set us free!
Adam Nitz
My name is Adam Nitz. I was trained as a Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) Pastor and was privileged to serve a congregation in Michigan for three years. After much wrestling in prayer and evaluating personal and family considerations I resigned my call. Part of the new direction my life has taken includes creative writing. I’ve always loved to write. Growing up I filled notebooks with poetry and reflections on life, faith, people and God. I just recently published a novel. I took a real person mentioned briefly in the Bible and imagined what his life's journey may have been like. If you’d like to follow my journey as an author feel free to check out my other blog at www.adamnitz.com. Please check out my book: I Was There When the Giant Fell at www.createspace.com/4761654 or search the title on Amazon.com. I pray that God will use all these writings to bring more people into closer contact with his saving truth--his mighty Word and that hearts and lives are changed by God’s boundless message of grace.
