Happy Easter...

Oh death, where is your victory?

Oh death, where is your sting?

1 Corinthians 15:55

This song, How Deep The Father's Love For Us, paints any incredible picture of what Easter is all about. Forget the rabbits and eggs, the big dinners and candy, focus on the cross of Christ. This season stands as a reminder of the great price that was paid for us. Let us not blaspheme this time with our own silly traditions and distractions. It's all about the persecution, death, burial, and resurrection of our SAVIOR!! God is soo good... :)

How deep the Father's love for us

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the Chosen One

Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
