Resurrection Sunday!

Happy SPRING everyone!! And more important Happy Resurrection Sunday!! We had a wonderful Easter starting out early in the morning as we joined our brothers and sisters in Christ at a sunrise service! We drove out to a couple's house that overlooks the whole montezuma county and LaPlata mountains and watched the sun rise over the clouds and watched the light burst forth a Glorious morning!! We then had a wonderful breakfast potluck and fellowship. Then we headed home so sleepy little abigail could have a morning nap and so we could get ready for Easter service at 11. This was also the fist service in our new sanctuary!! What a wonderful service and a wonderful reminder of what Christ has done for us and how the grave does not hold him- because he has RISEN!!
We ended the service with one of my favorite songs "because He lives". I love that song because it always reminds that me that we can face uncertain and tough days ONLY because HE lives and HE is alive today! Praise His Holy name!!
I am going to attach the word to this song so you can read them and be encouraged!!

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

And then one day, I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to vict'ry,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

Now being a mom and holding precious Abigail in my arms I am even more touched and encouraged that she can face the future no matter what it holds because our Savior Lives!!
