Good Friday

So, early this morning I was going to post the lyrics to a song I heard for the first time that was great reflection for this time of year...

For whatever reason, it just felt contrived. Like the words of that song should make me feel, think, and reflect on certain things in my life and in this journey with Christ.

Honestly, it didn't.

But I have been feeling this longing, maybe searching is a better word, in my spirit this week.

Today, in a brown paper package, my answer arrived and my spirit is at peace.

Here are the lyrics to a song I was introduced to in college. I can remember just how much it spoke to me the first time I heard it, and today it spoke even more intensely to me. So simple, and so profound...

Forever

The nails in Your hands, the nail in Your feet

They tell me how much You love me

The thorns in Your brow, they show me how

You bore so much shame to love me

And when the heavens pass away

All Your scars will still remain

And forever they will say just how much You love me

So I just want to say,

Forever my love, fovever my heart, forever my life is Yours.

Forever my love, forever my heart, forever my life is Yours, it's Yours.
