I really do think that Easter is my favorite Christian holiday. Don’t get me wrong, I do so love Christmas with all the decorations and cookies and lights and music. But that is also exactly why I so cherish Easter. The Easter Bunny never gained the notoriety of ole Kris Kringle and there is only one (outside of church) Easter song that I remember learning as a child …la la la Hippity Hoppity, Easter’s on its way.
Yes, for onto us a Savior is born; but because of that Savior’s “yes” to the will of the Father, we all have the chance of eternal life. So take some time this Holy Week and during the Easter Season to really “be” with those you love and celebrate the greatest gift man will ever know.
Christian musician, Matt Maher says, it best:
“Because He Lives (Amen)”
I believe in the Son
I believe in the risen One
I believe I overcome
By the power of His blood
Amen, Amen
I’m alive, I’m alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends
Because He lives
I was dead in the grave
I was covered in sin and shame
I heard mercy call my name
He rolled the stone away
Amen, Amen
I’m alive, I’m alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
Every fear is gone
I know He holds my life my future in His hands
Amen, Amen
I’m alive, I’m alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends
Amen, Amen
I’m alive, I’m alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends
Because He lives
Because He lives
