It's Easter.
The day is here
The day when the light exploded out of a hole in the rock
When a heap of dead bones began to breathe again
When God Incarnate rose from the dead
And every sin was laid on him two days before
The sins of everyone elected
And he rose again with our salvation assured.
Jesus Christ, the son of God, died for me.
The wonder. And the glory.
Let me always sing praise.
Your grace is all I will ever need-
All-encompassing, all sufficient
And when you carried all my sins
It is freely given to me in exchange for faith
You have redeemed me from the pit
Never let me stop singing praise.
Happy Easter, everyone. I'd advise you to take a minute to marvel at the grace and redemption of our Savior at this time in the year - it's truly unfathomable. He gave up so much for our salvation - Jesus is completely deserving of all our praise.

Thank you!
DeleteThank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteHe is risen!
He is risen indeed!
Delete"...the light exploded out of a hole in the rock" - lovely poem, Faith! We (well, I, anyway) always need reminders to never stop singing praise, too. Because what He did for us is amazing and so indescribable and I don't think about it enough.
ReplyDeleteYour new blog look does look very professional! Maybe a little more contrast between the words and background would be nice? (it's just that in the comments section, the dates/times blend in a bit) I definitely like your menu-list-thing! HOW did you do that? (it seems like JavaScript, which I don't know much about, but I didn't know you could do it in Blogger!) And the comment box doesn't look like the standard (slightly tacky) one. Did you write the code yourself?
Thank you so much! Actually, all I did was use one of Blogger's new templates which enables the layout and color and everything else. If you go to your blog's page on Blogger, you should have the option to do the same thing- it's under themes and the new ones are marked with the word new.
DeleteEaster is such a great time to write poetry. I love the way you did this; you have some serious poetic talent. Keep up the good writing! (Love your new blog theme, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Brianna! I like to write poetry; I've never thought I'm great at it, but I do it to honor God.
DeleteI love it too!
Ahh what a great poem - thank you for sharing, Faith! And gosh I love your new look :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Isn't it wonderful?
DeleteHello, friends! Do make yourselves comfortable and stay for a while--I'd love to chat with you! I simply ask that you keep it clean. :)
