My Redeemer Lives...

There is a reason that our symbol of the cross is empty. And that is simply because Jesus did not stay on the cross, but is Risen!
We have been focusing on the Resurrection for the past few weeks on our church blog. And these are the lyrics to a song that we are singing this Sunday. I hope the message of Easter will resonate in your soul this weekend!
The darkest day in history was over
All was lost on the cross
Beaten, battered, bruised beyond description
You gave it all, what went wrong?
-----
This couldn't be the end of Heaven's story
'Cause you came to save, to beat the grave
Three days and now they're looking for your body
But You were gone and now I know
-----
You saved the day
The day you rolled the stone away
The empty grave is there to say,
You reign!
You saved the day
You tore the holy veil away
You opened wide the prison gates
You saved the day!
-----
Rescued from the shackles of my failures
In the dead of night, You shined Your light.
Your gift of love is Hope that springs eternal
And because of You, all things are new.
-----
You saved the day
The day you rolled the stone away
The empty grave is there to say
You reign.
You saved the day
You tore the holy veil away
You opened wide the prison gates
You reign!
(Words by Michael Neal, sung by PCD)

For us indeed, it is a very Happy Easter!
