This year I feel empty 

Like there’s nothing left to give 

I came to this holiday 

Hoping to be full of happiness 

To be excited as it came 

Instead I came tired 

Drained by daily troubles 

Using bad coping mechanisms 

Trying to just hold on 

I don’t have anything to give this year 

I’m empty 

And I’m tired 

But Easter was a day 

All those years ago 

When God gave us back what we’d lost 

He restored the broken pieces 

He bound the wounds 

And His disciples

Well, they were broken going in to 

Crushed by the weight of his death 

So maybe this year 

I’m feeling more like the disciples 

Then ever before 

And maybe this year 

When Sunday comes 

And we’re reminded He’s alive 

I’ll feel the joy they felt 

In knowing He won

 And the days in between 

Were not spent in vain

Even if I feel empty now 

His grave is empty 

He won over death 

And now He lives in me 

So I can live full

I hope y'all have a great Ester!
