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!!
