Easter Rap

(Linda Bonadies)
Brothers and sister we've been led astray
Thinkin' that Christmas is the biggest Holiday
At Christmas Jesus is just a tiny little babe
Cryin' loud and suckin' on his thumb all day

Lookin' at the cows and wettin' his pants
Knockin' over all the myrh and frankinscense
He was a real whiner, put Mary through the ringer
and had the drummer boy wrapped around his little finger

It's not until Easter celebrated in the Spring
Now that's the Holiday Jesus really does his thing
and without all those gifts we don't get so distracted
there's just a little candy in a dinky little basket

Now let's review the facts exactly what took place
then hopefully the message will slap us in the face
First Jesus suffered, crucified on the cross
He died for our sins and if that ain't enough

Told god to forgive us, to give us a break
then his big grande finale came in just three days
Now listen all you homies, receive the magnitude
Death was not the end for this Jesus Dude

He rolled the stone away, maybe a metaphor
and walked in new life like he never had before
For those of you out there who still don't get the point
We'll tell you loud and clear and then we'll ace this joint

Jesus ain't no zombie but he rose from the dead
And you can rise too - yeah that's what Jesus said

so when you feel shriveled up like a rotten piece of meat
When you're on death's door so empty and deplete
Sings a song, give a whistle, no need for any strife
Just underneath the surface there exists new life!

When you're mangled and mistaken for a fresh roadkill
When your soil's turned to rock and there's nothing left to till
Give a rah, give a ray, give a hey supersize
From the daunting grip of death Jesus said you will rise!

and please keep in mind that when life is ressurected
It may not be just what you had expected
'Cause life is always full of many big surprises
So if you find yourself face to face with a crisis

Keep the faith, keep the message of Easter in your head
'Cause it's truly possible to rise from the Dead!!
