3 Days later...


HAPPY EASTER!!!
Do you ever wonder what it would've been like if YOU had been there that first Easter? To have been in Peter, John and Mary's shoes?
What the feeling would've been inside you? Probably a mixture of all kinds of feelings... 
..............................................................................
These 3 songs have been resting on my heart lately...
and I thought I would share them with you, and a few others I threw in there,
on this beautiful Easter morn'!
.............................................................................
You can close your eyes 
You can say it's a lie 
You can stick your head in the sand 
You can turn away, even try to explain 
He was just another man 
When they nailed Him to the cross by His hands and feet 
and they put Him in the ground 
Three days later everybody found out that you can't 
No you can't keep a good man down!
I can take you to the hill where they hung Him on the cross 
I can take you to the empty tomb 
I can tell you He's alive 'cause He lives in me 
But the rest is up to you 


Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross


{This one makes you think.}

Words and music by Nathan Clark George 
What if I were in the garden 

What if I were in the garden 
the night my Lord was betrayed 
What if I were in the garden 
the night my Lord was taken away 
Would I have closed my eyes, 
would I have fled in fright 
My mind deceives me, I have such need 

What if I were in the court yard 
the night he was beaten and tried 
What if I were by the fireside 
the night my Lord was denied 
Would I have claimed His Name, 
would I have lied in shame 
My mind deceives me, I have such need 

Would I have kissed his cheek, 
would I have been so weak 
But Oh for the grace of the Lord. 
Could it be, could He mean to love one such as me 
There's no greater joy than to hear His gentle voice 

What if I were on the hillside when my Lord died that day 
What if I were just standing in that crowd 
When my Lord was hung there in shame 
Would I have said "save yourself, 
Come on you saved everyone else" 
My mind deceives me, I have such need 

Would I have kissed his cheek, 
would I have been so weak 
But Oh for the grace of the Lord. 
Could it be, could He mean to love one such as me 
There's no greater joy than to hear His gentle voice 

What if I were in the garden 
the morning that stone rolled away 
What if I were in the garden 
the morning he rose from the grave 
Would I have known his voice, 
would I have cried for joy 
My mind deceives me, I have such need 

Would I have kissed his cheek, 
would I have been so weak 
But Oh for the grace of the Lord.
I would run, I would hide, three times I would lie
Could it be, could He mean to love one such as me 
There's no greater joy than to hear His gentle voice
What if I were in the garden?...
.........................................................................................
Hallelujah, You carry me everyday
You carry me all the way!
Hallelujah, You carry me to the cross!
........................................................................................................
Alive! Alive! Look what Mercy’s overcome; 
Death has lost and Love has won!
Alive! Alive! Hallelujah, Risen Lord, 
the only One I fall before
I am His because He is alive!
..................................................
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done, but because of who You are!
..............................................
Have a very blessed Easter as you remember what He did for us!!
...............................
The grave could not hold The King!!
