The promise of Easter by Helen Steiner Rice
"Because He lives we too shall live" -
We need these seven words above
to help us to endure
The changing world around us
that is dark and insecure,
To help us view the present
as a passing episode,
A troubled, brief encounter
on life's short and troubled road.
For knowing life's eternal
because our Savior died
And rose again at Easter
after He was crucified
Makes this uncertain present
in a world of sin and strife
Nothing but a stepping-stone
to a new and better life!
