 EVERY DAY IS EASTER
"Easter comes but once a year," So many people say,
But to a person saved from sin, It's Easter every day!
A man when saved or "born again," His life to Christ will give,
And as a new-born babe in Christ, He's just begun to live.
"I am the resurrection and the life," The Savior one day said;
And he, believing in my Word, Shall live though he be dead."
And that well known Apostle Paul, in Philippi made plain;
"For me to live is Jesus Christ, For me to die is gain."
So when the Blood of Christ, our Lord, Redeems a soul from sin;
Every day is Easter, For Jesus lives within!
THE GREATEST BLESSINGS AND NEWS THE WORLD EVER
RECEIVED CAME FROM A GRAVE YARD NEAR JERUSALEM!

BLESSINGS
I knelt to pray when day was done,
And prayed, "O Lord, bless everyone,
Lift from each saddened heart the pain
And let the sick be well again."
And then I woke another day
And carelessly went on my way,
The whole day long I did not try
To wipe a tear from any eye.
I did not try to share the load
Of any brother on the road.
I did not even go to see
The sick man just next door to me.
Yet once again when day was done,
I prayed, "O Lord, bless everyone."
But as I prayed, into my ear
There came a voice that whispered clear,
"Pause now, my son, before you pray.
Whom have you tried to bless today?
Gods sweetest blessing always go
By hands that serve him here below."
And then I hid my face and cried,
"Forgive me, God, I have not tried,
But let me live another day
And I will live the way I pray."
? 1934 Rev. Roy Shahan
