He is risen!

O trumpet sound a vict’ry call!
And tongues proclaim good news for all:
He is risen! He is risen!
O! Let a thousand hymns break forth,
Proclaiming our Redeemer’s worth!

Give Him glory! Give Him glory!
He is risen! He is risen!
Hallelujah!

He who was slain on our behalf,
Suff’ring beneath His Father’s wrath:
He is risen! He is risen!
He who was hung upon the tree,
Rose from the tomb in victory!

O Christian, are you filled with gloom?
Then look inside the empty tomb!
He is risen! He is risen!
Here there is hope for ev’ry fear!
Here there is joy for ev’ry tear!

O! Let the nations sing the fame
Of Christ the Lamb who once was slain!
He is risen! He is risen!
Now we await the coming day,
When all those raised in Christ will say:

Lets soak it in folks.
It is amazing how days and weeks can go by without any thoughts
of this crossing my mind.
Sometime I just have to conscientiously
stop myself and think about it.
I pray for myself and all of you that this
weekend will be a time of soaking it in.
It is also amazing how having children in your
life nieces, nephews, kids, grandkids
can make this hit home more.
For two reasons
1. You would do anything for those kids in your life that you love so much
just like Jesus sacrificed his life for us, and God His Son for us.
2. God sacrificed His Son for us! Holy mackerel He must love us a lot.

Thank you, Lord, for loving us so much!

He gave His LIFE for us,
but He is alive and well!
