Why would anyone celebrate the death of our Lord on the cross?? Because in dying for our sins, Jesus made it possible for us to live forever with Him in eternity. God sacrificed His only begotten son --for us! We can never imagine ourselves giving up a child. And yet our God did this for us because he loves every single creation that he made. If you have not given yourself over to the Lord, today is the perfect day. Because He Lives ♫ I can face tomorrow,♫♫
(Verse 1)
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 and is worth the living
Just because he lives
(Verse 2)
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)
(Verse 3)
And then one day
I'll cross the river
I'll fight life's fi-
Nal war with pain
And then as death
Gives way to victory
I'll see the lights
Of glory and
I'll know he lives
(Chorus 2xs)
Jesus died on the cross but that was not the end of it by any means, He Rose from the dead after 3 days, Easter Sunday and ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. I cry to imagine my Savior's suffering and death on the cross but there is joy in my heart because he lives, I can face tomorrow.
Pause at 3pm today and bow your head thanking Jesus for dying for us on the cross. I am so thankful for Good Friday. Blessings to each and everyone of you who read this today. And I hope the hymn touches your heart...
My Christian heart to yours....
