Happy Resurrection Day!

My heart is so full of joy today! I am meditating on the death of Christ on my behalf, and the resurrection of Christ that secured for me eternal life, and my thoughts have been focused on all the awesome praise songs that we have to sing to the Lord. I recently bought Sovereign Grace's Risen cd, and it has moved me to worship, that is for sure!!! What a gift that God has allowed his children to write music for the church to sing! I am very thankful that our church sings songs that exalt Jesus and glorify him for all he has done for us.

One song in particular has been playing over and over in my head, and the words are so powerful that I must share them.....

We Have Been Healed

You bore our sins in Your body
As You were hung on a tree
So we might die to rebellion
And live for Him who set us free

You were mocked and reviled
Suffering in our place
Trusting all to Your Father
So enemies could know Your grace

chorus:
We have been healed, justified
Made alive in the life of Christ
Righteous blood covers every sin
Risen Lamb, heaven's light
Crucified and now alive
In Your love You have drawn us in

Like straying sheep we were wandering
Destitute and alone
You sought us out like a shepherd
You carried us and brought us home

bridge:
All our sin for Your grace
What a glorious exchange
All our sin for Your grace
What a glorious exchange
All our sin for Your grace
What a glorious exchange
