It's that time of the year
When we remember that death we need not fear
For Christ has triumphed over the grave
Yet there is so much in this life that we crave
Â
Palm Sunday begins the week in which Christ would die
Two years ago on the same Holy week
Our son, Nathanael’s life would change, oh why?
Easter is a stark reminder for us that life is fragile and weak
Â
Yet new life is what Easter brings
When everything is blossoming and a new shoot springs
Yet we found ourselves in the clutches of death and fear
Those days were horrific with tear after tear
Â
As Easter comes round again
We remember Christ suffered and was slain
There is in the offering still much heartache
Yet He rose again to give us hope every time we wake
Â
Over 2000 years has passed and the world keeps on moving
His heart for us is still as strong and He keeps on loving
Through pain, struggle and tears we have to find His grace
At this time of the year especially for us, His tender embrace
Â
No one will truly know the pain Christ endured only He
For those of us who suffer we know the One who suffered on Good Friday
Yes there's deep pain in my heart now and tomorrow
Yet Lord help me to cling to the man of sorrows
