First, i hope that you all had a very blessed Easter! I've had a song in my head....and my heart....since we sang it in church yesterday.
"Because I live, You also will live."
John 14:19
Because He Lives
God sent His Son, the called Him Jesus,
He came to love, heal, & forgive;
He lived & dies to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future.
And live is worth the living just because He lives.
How sweet to hold a new born baby,
And feel the pride, & joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future.
And live is worth the living just because He lives.
And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory & I'll know He lives.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future.
And live is worth the living just because He lives.
The first time i remember hearing this song was at my dad's funeral. He was killed in a farm accident & being an only child, i was a daddy's girl. Now i think of my mom, my grandparents, aunts & uncles, friends & loved ones who have gone before me. As we have celebrated Easter, we have celebrated that...YES! Jesus had risen & He lives!!! And because of that we can face tomorrow, the day after that, the day after that & all the days after that. No matter what those days have in store for us, because He lives, we can face anything!
Hallelujah! He Lives!
