And we remember His words still today... they live on and on and on! He is not where He was laid... but He is risen, and He lives forevermore! Oh the sweet joy that floods my heart to know this!
Bunnies, eggs, and baskets are really not the part of the resurrection story, at least I've not found them anywhere in scripture.... but we are to honor the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior by "remembering His Words"... remember what He came to do... how He lived, loved, died, and rose again... that is the miracle of joy that we celebrate today. HE LIVES!
An old chorus came to mind this morning as we worshiped the Lord... and I searched on Youtube to find it, and could only find one rendition of this beautiful song that I often remember singing on Resurrection Sunday. Maybe you have heard it, maybe you haven't... but let this simple rendition of a song bless you today... the chorus is what my heart was singing over and over today... "He is risen for I feel Him in my soul"... and I am praying that the presence of the RISEN SAVIOR is blessing your soul today in a special way!
HE IS RISEN
1.
It was on a Sunday morning;
all the world had been in mourning.
Jesus Christ had suffered bled and died alone.
When his friends had gone to seek Him,
in the tomb they tried to keep Him,
but the stone was rolled away,
the Lord was gone.
CHORUS:
Yes, He's risen here today.
He's no longer where He lay.
He is risen for I feel Him in my soul.
When His life on earth had ended
on to glory He ascended.
He is risen for I feel Him in my soul.
2.
Those who came were struck with terror
feeling there had been some error;
and they marveled at the angel as he said,
"If it's Jesus you are seeking,
He is gone for none could keep Him.
Come behold the place
and see where He was laid."
3.
On a lonely road was walking,
two disciples gently talking,
when a stranger overtook them on their way.
It was Jesus who had risen
that their sins might be forgiven,
and their hearts did burn within them on their way.

Yes, dear friend, how I praise God along with you that He is risen today! Without His resurrection, where would we be? We would be without hope. He conquered death, Hell, the grave, and God has put everything under His feet, praise His name! The knowledge of that brings great comfort to our hearts, as we realize once again that nothing in front of us is bigger than our God! Sending you much love and many blessings across the miles!

Thank you Ceil, we had a lovely Easter celebration, celebrating the joy of our risen Savior is a pure delight for us! And what a joy it is that we can celebrate Him not just on one day, but on every day... He has risen, and now He lives ... not just up in the heavens... but deep in my heart, He is near me, and lives within me... what joy that brings to my heart! I will be praying for you as you walk through this difficult valley you are in right now. Much love to you dear Ceil, and praying the Lord blesses your week with His healing touch, as ONLY HE CAN!
DeleteCeil, I just realized I did not answer your question, and I am so sorry about that! I do not know this person. It was the only video rendition I could of this song that was "playing" in my heart Easter morning, and he did have a great story about the history of music in his life! Continuing to pray for you dear friend!
DeleteMarilyn, Amen! What a beautiful song. The lyrics reminded me of the old hymn "Yesterday He Died for Me". Have a blessed evening. {{HUGS}}
