MY EASTER BUNNY
My Bunny has the longest ears
That ever you did see,
And just the brightest little eyes,
He almost winks at me!
And then I just imagine
I hear my Bunny say,
''My, everybody's happy
And glad on Easter Day.''

THE FIRST EASTER
I'spect that it was pretty dark
That morning long ago,
When those three women started out
With all those things to go
To where they knew their Christ was laid,
And everything was still,
And maybe not a sound was heard
By anyone until
That Mary saw the stone was gone,
And then the coming day
Began to make the whole world bright;
Then, when she turned away,
She saw a man come walking down
The path, and suddenly
She knew her Lord had risen indeed,
And wished the rest could see.
And I just 'spose that Jesus knew
Where the disciples stayed,
And so He said, ''Go tell them all.
'Tis I, be not afraid.''

THE LITTLE BOY
You know I think that little boy
Who gave his lunch one day
To help to feed a hungry crowd
Who'd come a long, long way
To hear what Jesus said to them,
Was standing near that night
And wondered what a boy could do
To make things come out right.
And I'm 'most sure that he was there
With all the sorrowing men,
That little boy loved Jesus, too,
I know He'd be there then.
And Easter morning when the stone
Had all been rolled away,
I'm very sure that little boy
Was glad 'twas Easter Day.

THE STORIES I LIKE
I like to hear the stories
Of days of long ago,
You find them in the Bible
And when you do you know
They're everyone as true as true,
And that is just the way
We know that Jesus came to life
On that first Easter Day.

EASTER BELLS
Hear the church bells ringing,
Telling of God's love,
Little children singing,
Of our God above.
Each bell tells this message,
''Jesus Christ arose,
No more is He in the grave,
He's triumphed o'er His foes.

EASTER MESSAGE
Little robins singing sweetly,
In every bush and tree,
All are singing the sweet story,
''Jesus died and rose for me.''

EASTER SONG
Tune: Jesus Bids Us Shine
Easter Day is here and we all are glad,
Every one is happy, not a one is sad,
Each a message bringing, singing loud and clear,
From our Lord and Master, our Savior dear.
Jesus Christ is risen, risen from the dead,
Rise up from the darkness even as He said,
Now He reigns in Heaven, sends His love so free,
To all of His children, to you and me.
Now color a choir boy in church singing his Easter song for services...

EASTER MESSAGE
I am but a little Child,
And have not much to say,
But I wish you each and all,
A joyous Easter Day.
Learn to draw baby chics step-by-step with just a few shapes. Then color them in with your crayons. When you finish your Easter picture give it to a friend or family member to hang in their home at Easter time.
 |
| Draw two baby chics dressed in capes pecking away at crumbs. |
But best of all,
At Easter time
Is when you wake
Right up and find
Two little chicks
Or maybe three,
Busy as a chick
Can be
Scratching here and
There to find
Good things to eat
At Easter time.

EASTER GREETING
We welcome each one today,
And hope each heart is brimful of love,
And although I'm quite small to have much to say,
I can speak of my Father above,
For Jesus has died on the cross,
And has risen for you and for me,
So this is the greeting we give everyone,
For from darkness we've all been set free.
Here is a Springtime puzzle for you to solve. Shade in all the sections with a dot to reveal the hidden picture below.

WHY I LOVE JESUS
I love Jesus very much,
Shall I tell you why?
'Cause He suffered on the Cross
And for the world did die.

| Jesus rode through the city gates as the people waved palms and shouted "Hosanna." Coloring page. |
"Jesus rode into Jerusalem at the season of the Passover feast. Passover is a holy Jewish observance. Jesus' 12 disciples were with him. On the road joyful crowds surrounded him. Waving "palm branches and shouting "Hosanna," they led him to the gates of the city. He entered the temple and overturned the tables of the money changers and scolded the men who were selling doves to be used as offerings. He said the temple should be a house of prayer and they had made it a den of thieves. Then he healed the blind and crippled people who came to him in the temple. The priests didn't like what he did. They were jealous of him and wanted to get rid of him."

| Vintage Easter Bunny Greeting |
EASTER JOYS
Every bell is ringing clear,
Sending messages so dear,
Telling mankind far and near,
This is Easter Day.
Birds are singing in the trees,
Faintly sounds the hum of bees,
Fragrance wafting on the breeze,
On this Easter Day.
Did you know that the tradition of purchasing "Easter clothes" of modern times, so widely advertised by merchants are only meant to emphasize the spirit of the day, quite as much as the "Easter egg" which is supposed to typify the germ of a resurrection of life? So that as all nature is renewed and redressed in the Spring, it is fitting that mankind should follow.

If we make use of
Both our eyes,
We often find
As a surprise
The hidden nest
Of Mister Bunny.
Or possibly
His brother Sunny
And sometimes, slipping
Through the grass
We see Bre'r Bunny
Hopping past.

TO AN EASTER LILY
Tell me, lovely Lily,
Nodding in the field,
As you lift your petals white,
And sweetest fragrance yield;
Why are you so happy?
Why are you so glad?
When many people round about
Do look so very sad?
Thus the Lily answered,
Whispering soft and low,
''Can't you guess why I am glad?
Really don't you know?
Then I'll tell my secret,
If you'll bend your head,
I am happy on this day,
For Christ rose from the dead.''
