They placed the cross upon his back

Yet no one seemed to care

The weight across his shoulders

Seemed more then he could bear.



The spikes were driven in his hands

And pounded through his feet

The ones who had convicted him

Were cheering in the street.



The crown of thorns placed on his head

Brought blood upon his brow

The day of prophecy had come

He had to face it now.



The sins of man were laid to rest

He bore a heavy loss

The agony he must have felt

As he hung there on the cross.



The innocent blood of Jesus Christ

Was shed for all to see

The Son of God was crucified

And died for you and me.

And Easter:
Easter Sunday is the day of the feast. This day, the third since crucifixion. This is when Christ is believed to have shown himself, after his death through crucifixion. He had risen up from his tomb that was guarded by the sentries. And met his disciples to get them prepared to carry out his works in his absence.

Easter reminds us all, of a significant event. The event that Jesus Christ was resurrected, after having suffered and died. It reminds you that Christ, who was crucified on, what is now called, the Good Friday, showed himself on Easter. So, it is a time of celebration and praise.
