Easter Joy
Jesus came to earth,
To show us how to live,
How to put others first,
How to love and how to give.
Then He set about His work,
That God sent Him to do;
He took our punishment on Himself;
He made us clean and new.
He could have saved Himself,
Calling angels from above,
But He chose to pay our price for sin;
He paid it out of love.
Our Lord died on Good Friday,
But the cross did not destroy
His resurrection on Easter morn
That fills our hearts with joy.
Now we know our earthly death,
Like His, is just a rest.
We'll be forever with Him
In heaven, where life is best.
So we live our lives for Jesus,
Think of Him in all we do.
Thank you Savior; Thank you Lord.
Help us love like you!

Joanna's poem explains the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter is celebrated for the resurrection of Jesus and often times people forget to the other things He did to get to that time. Joanna explains that Jesus came to show us how to live, He took our sins upon himself even though He could have stopped His torture anytime. She explains He died in our place and because He rose again from the grave living forever, we can have Joy in the Lord Jesus our Savior knowing that when our physical bodies die we will be resurrected with Him in Heaven.
True Life
Jesus Christ is Lord of all
Jesus lives in my heart and spirit
Jesus you catch me when I fall
Jesus Christ is Savior of all
Jesus knows all our sins
Jesus wants you to answer His call
Jesus Christ shed His blood
Jesus took our punishment, death
Jesus rose from the grave
Jesus’ Crimson Blood turns us white as snow
Jesus will forgive you and me this I know
Know that you sin
Know Jesus will forgive you
Know Jesus will save you
All you have to do is believe and ask Jesus in your heart
He did it for me and He’ll do it for you even through all our strife
Jesus will give us Eternal Life

My poem conveys the truth of Jesus Christ as the one and only Savior. It share with us of He knows our sins, He died for us, rose again and wants to forgive and to save us. The poem conveys Jesus lives in us and gives us eternal life when we believe in our heart and ask for forgiveness. Joanna Fuchs ‘ poem Easter Joy inspired this poem because she put what Jesus did which is something so complex yet so simple into words. So I tried to share the what he did and what he wants as simple as I could even though it sounds too complex to be that simple.
