Happy Easter

In keeping tradition, I went for an early dawn walk up a nearby hill this morning to see the sun rise.  I have done this for a number of years now with my Mum up to the top of Beacon Hill just outside Loughborough, where we meet up with other Christians for a small Easter Sunday service to celebrate Jesus rising from the dead.  Today, since I'm in Blenheim, NZ, I went for a walk up the Wither Hills just behind where I live to see the sunrise on Easter morning.  How glorious it was (and is!)

He Is Risen, Alleluia!  He Is Risen Indeed!

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed

Living He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering in anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He's ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him
From rising again

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One, bringing
My Saviour, Jesus is mine

Oh Glorious Day!

Fill today with your Praises to Him, for He is Risen, and that is AWESOME :-)
Happy Easter everyone!
