On a beautiful Sunday morning as I woke up got dressed and ready to go to the church I have known for many years and had come to love. I pondered over this thought as I sat in back with my family on one side and dear friends and there granddaughter on the other. What would it be like to have had my children they would have been 2 yrs and 2 mon. Wow how time fly's, as I sat in the back singing all the songs and listening to the few words the worship leader had to say and the announcements. I was day dreaming thinking about what could have been. Then a song started a song that I have loved since i was a little girl. As I started singing the song with the congregation i hear my little sister's sweet voice starting to sing her heart out to the Lord and on the other side was a sweet little 3 yr old who was trying so hard to sing. It made me cry and think about all the sweet little angels that God has called home before we here on earth got to meet them. As I listened and sang I felt like I could hear my two little ones like any mom would say singing, there little hears out.
This the Power-
Oh, to see the dawn
Of the darkest day:
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Tried by sinful men,
Torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood.
Chorus:
This, the power of the cross:
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Oh, to see the pain
Written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Every bitter thought,
Every evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
Now the daylight flees
Now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two,
Dead are raised to life;
"Finished!" the victory cry.
Oh, to see my name
Written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death
Life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love.
This, the power of the cross:
Son of God—slain for us
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.
As I come out of a bad relationship and many losses I cant help but to think about how much more Christ being on the cross was. To know that the Lord has taken all our issues and everything we do as humans and the sins that we have. To think about what a mighty and amazing God we have. I know for me I have done stuff to cause him pain and he was nailed to the cross.
I cry every time I see those words or sing that song. Its a good thing, its for me a reminder for what an Awesome and Amazing God we have. Happy Easter everyone. Remember why we celebrate. He has Risen!
