Blessed Easter Sunday

He is Risen - He is Lord


Today is the day we celebrate the fact that Jesus, who died on the cross at Calvary - who took on the burdens of all sin - MY sin  past, present and future - and became the greatest miracle of all time - He arose from the grave. They beat Him, tortured Him, spat upon Him, but death could not defeat Him.

May today be a day of remembrance. Not just bunnies, candy, pretty clothes and family gatherings. May it be a day to think about what Jesus did on that cross - how he made something so ugly become something so beautiful.

If you are reading this blog right now - say a prayer for someone you know who is in need of knowing Jesus. Have  a Blessed Easter Sunday!

Lyrical Monday - Praise You In This Storm - Casting Crowns

Praise You In This Storm

Casting Crowns

I was sure by now

God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus:]
And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You

But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

[Chorus]

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

[Chorus x2] 

This has always been one of my favorite Casting Crowns songs - I have been to 3 concerts and always love to hear this one.
