Happy Easter!

"Behold the Lamb, carrying all our transgressions
He freely takes our place; endures the lash,
the mocking and the laughter of those he dies to save.
But look again, the cross stands empty now
And He is risen!"

"Jesus thank you for the cross
for the blood that sets us free
crimson stain of all our sin
washed away in Your mercy"

I am so grateful for songs that point us to the gospel and are filled with truth! What a glorious day it is to reflect back on what Jesus has done for us all. Christ lived a perfect sinless life, was mocked, beaten, and suffered extreme pain to the point of death and then raised to life and is now seated at the right hand of His father! Jesus bore the wrath and punishment that I so rightly deserve but because of God's great mercy and love for us He sent His son as the sacrificial lamb to take our place. What amazing grace, what amazing mercy, and what amazing love! I am so thankful for the cross because through the cross the gospel is revealed, through the cross we can be redeemed and through the cross we can have eternal life. What else can I do but sing songs of praise to our God for what He has done over two thousand years ago today!
