Good Friday...

Celebration is in sight!

On this Friday, I wanted to share a couple of the songs that have been speaking to me lately.

Josh and I will be singing the first on Sunday morning - I think it might be my new favorite Easter song.

See, what a morning, gloriously bright,
With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem;
Folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light,
As the angels announce, "Christ is risen!"
See God's salvation plan, Wrought in love,
borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,
Fulfilled in Christ, the Man,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

See Mary weeping, "Where is He laid?"
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb;
Hears a voice speaking, calling her name;
It's the Master, the Lord raised to life again!
The voice that spans the years,
Speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us,
Will sound till He appears,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty.
Honor and blessing, glory and praise
To the King crowned with pow'r and authority!
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

"See What a Morning", Words and Music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townsend


I've seen the days melt into night in circles of lights,
I've watched the spider spin a star between the window box flowers,
I've heard you laugh and cry in a single sigh,
And a story form within.

Don't let me lose my wonder.
Don't let me lose my wonder.

I saw her broken dreams inside but helping others fly,
I saw his eyes without a doubt though other lights faded out,
And though her calling roared,
such graciousness poured,
From the vision of her soul.

A baby cried through the dark beneath a jeweled spark,
I knew your voice upon the hill and heard my lostness still,
I found my home in the light where wrong was made right,
And you rose as the morning star.

Don't let me lose my wonder.
Don't let me lose my wonder.
