A BETTER
IDEA
It's a better idea than spring
baskets,
with jelly beans, mallows and
bows;
it's far better than flowery
straw bonnets,
Mary Janes and brand new clothes,
a much better idea than bunnies
and chicks,
eggs painted pink, purple, blue…
This time let us give our sweet
children
an Easter present that'll ring true.
Let’s give a plush lamb, all
spotless and pure
and tell them Jesus is its name…
Tell them Jesus is the Hope of
the World
and Easter's the reason He came.
Tell them God's Son is sinless and
meek
He's the unblemished Passover
Lamb;
tell them He died on Calvary's
Cross
to save sinners. He's the great I
Am.
Tell them that on the first
Easter morning
Lamb Jesus arose from the grave –
and that is why in their tiny
hands
is the soft little lamb that you
gave.
Tell them Lord Jesus loves them
so much
that He wants to be their Best
Friend.
Their little lamb will remind
them of that
after Resurrection Day ends.
Tell them chocolate bunnies,
bonnets and beans
are okay, but not the best part –
the best part of Easter is Jesus,
the Lamb,
Who came to live in their hearts!
