Theme  –  Anticipating Easter, remembering the hill with three crosses
__________________________
Content  –  The verses each take a different aspect of Easter.  Verse 1 reflects spring, and the changes in nature that tell us Easter’s on the way; verse 2 is all about chocolate and Easter cake; verse 3 is about people doing special things at Easter, painting eggs, making bonnets, singing in church etc. The chorus recalls the Christian Easter story, as we 'travel in time to the hill of three crosses' to remember Jesus' sacrifice on the cross - and the joy of the resurrection.  Hosanna!

Lyrics sample

Days grow longer, the sun shines stronger

Bouncing lambs and fluffy chicks are here!

Blossom’s blooming and bugs are zooming:

We can tell that Easter’s really near!

Easter’s coming! Nature shouts it out!

I will find out what it’s all about…

I’m gonna travel in time

To the hill of three crosses

Travel in time, see the empty tomb,

Travel in time, hear the angel’s message:

“Jesus died and now he is alive!

Hosannah! Hosannah!

Jesus died and now he is alive!”
