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!!
