Easter 2007

This past week Steve pulled our Easter baskets and eggs out of the attic and the girls and I spent the afternoons hiding eggs in the yard. Reagan was so excited about Easter - about dressing up in her pretty dress and hat and gloves, and about eating candy out of her basket and going to eat and see her grandparents and aunts and uncle and cousins. One day soon we hope she is as excited about Easter as we are for the reason we are. I start thinking about what Easter represents and I can hardly contain myself. It is the time when our Savior rose from the dead! What a glorious day! Here is a song that has been on my heart all week...

You Led Me to the Cross

You led me to the cross
And I saw the face of mercy in that place of love
You opened up my eyes
To believe Your sweet salvation
Where I’d been so blind
Now that I’m living in Your all forgiving love
My every road leads to the cross

Jesus, keep me near the cross
I won’t forget the love You’ve shown
Savior, teach me of the cross
I won’t forget the love
I won’t forget the love You’ve shown

And there’s an empty tomb
That tells me of Your resurrection and my life in You
The stone lies rolled away
Nothing but those folded grave clothes
Where Your body lay
Now that I’m living as a risen child of God
My every road leads to the cross
