11:15 a.m. The Back Door Church THE GLORY OF THE EASTER STORY In the glorious Easter Story A troubled world can find Blessed reassurance And enduring peace of mind… For though we grow discouraged In this world we’re living in, There is comfort just in knowing God has triumphed over sin… For our Saviour’s Resurrection Was God’s way of telling men That in Christ we are eternal And in Him we live again… And to know life is unending And God’s love unending too, Makes our daily tasks and burdens So much easier to do… For the blessed Easter Story Of Christ the living Lord, Makes our earthly sorrow nothing When compared with this reward. -- Helen Steiner Rice
