"For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the later day upon the earth. And though after my skin, worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself, and not another, though my reins be consumed within me." Job 19:25-27
Happy Easter to you all! I just love this time of year.....The beauty of the creation around us, the new life in every plant and flower, trees blossoming forth and sun shining it's bright rays throughout the earth once again. How could I help but also see the wonder of God's great gift to us in sending His Son Jesus to redeem our souls, and give us all the gift of new life. Not only for this time of year, but throughout the whole year, we have the blessed promise of New Life because of Christ's death!
I was inspired recently by the words to these songs, and I thought it was the perfect time of year to share them with you all.
Have a blessed Easter with your family, and friends, and be sure to thank God for His gift of New Life this spring and always!
Jesus King of Angels!
Jesus, King of Angels, Heaven's light
Shine Your face upon this house tonight
Let no evil come into my dreams
Light of Heaven keep me in Your peace
Remind me how You made dark spirits flee
And spoke Your power to the raging sea
And spoke Your mercy to a sinful man
Remind me Jesus, this is what I am
The universe is vast beyond the stars
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me and bind me
With all my heart I love You, Sovereign Lord
Tomorrow let me love You even more
And rise to speak the goodness of Your name
Until I close my eyes and sleep again
The universe is vast beyond the stars
But You are mindful when the sparrow falls
And mindful of the anxious thoughts
That find me, surround me and bind me
Jesus, King of Angels, Heaven's light
Hold my hand and keep me through this night
Fernando Ortega
Always the Same
I am His, He is mine; Jesus knows my name.
I can rest in His arms; He’s always the same.
When I fall, when I call, Jesus takes my hand.
Cleansing me, lifting me, He helps me to stand.
In His love, I’m secure; we shall never part.
In His Word I will trust and give Him all my heart.
In the dark of the night, when my heart would fear,
Lovingly, tenderly, my Saviour is near.
Always the same, O praise His name,
Jesus never changes; He’s always the same.
Always together, His love is forever.
Jesus never changes; He’s always the same.

"But, He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5
