Sunday is Here!

Happy Easter! I hope everyone is celebrating the true meaning of Easter today. It's not about the bunny or eggs, but about the fact that our Savior is RISEN! All too often I think we get caught up in the commercialization of the holiday and forget the awesome fact that Jesus is ALIVE!

Here are the lyrics of one of my favorite songs that tells the Easter story perfectly! It's "Arise" by Newsong.

Not a word was heard
at the tomb that day.
Just shuffling of soldiers feet
as they guarded the grave.
One day, two days,
three days had past.
Could it be that Jesus
breathed His last?

Could it be that His Father
had forsaken him?
Turned his back on his son
dispising our sin.
All hell seemed to whisper
"Just forget Him, He's dead."
Then the Father looked down
to his son and he said..

Arise, My love.
Arise, My love.
The grave no longer
has a hold on you
No more death's sting
No more suffering
Arise...Arise...my love.

The Earth trembled
and the tomb began to shake,
and like lightening
from Heaven the stone was rolled away.
And as dead man
the guards they all stood there in fright
As the power of love
displayed its might
Then suddenly a melody
filled the air
Riding wings of wind,
it was everywhere
The words all creation
had been longing to hear
The sweet sound of victory,
so loud and clear.

Arise, my love.
Arise, my love.
The grave no longer has a hold on you.
No more death's sting
no more suffering
Arise...arise....

Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell; has been defeated.
The grave could not hold the king.

Arise, My love.
Arise, My love.
The grave no longer
has a hold on you
No more death's sting
No more suffering
Arise....Arise....Arise

How incredible is it to think that death has NOTHING on us? It's not something to be afraid of because death has been defeated thanks to Jesus. Blows my mind every time I think about it!

 

 

Y'all-celebrate today! We have life because of what Jesus did for us! That is so much more exciting and worthy of a rabbit and eggs!!
