"It is Finished." John 19:30


Below are a few lyrics from an Easter musical I was in several years ago, "Alone on the Altar-Calvary's Lamb". The music is beautifully moving and the words are powerfully sobering. Take a moment and reflect on this Good Friday, The Sacrifice made on our behalf. Behold Calvary's Lamb.
Alone on the Altar
Alone on the altar
He drinks from the cup,
forsaken and broken,
in my shame lifted up.
He is wounded for my sins
held in death's dark embrace,
this sacrificed Savior,
now dies in my place.

I find myself sometimes speechless at His sacrifice. We've been reading the Easter story all week. Starting our day with it has really put things into perspecitve for me. How easily we take it for granted! Hope you guys have a wonderful Easter! With Naomi having RSV we may not even go to church. Such a bummer!
