LIFE!

Was it a morning like this
When the Son still hid from Jerusalem?
And Mary rose from her bed
To tend the Lord she thought was dead

Was it a morning like this
When Mary walked down from Jerusalem?
And two angels stood at the tomb
Bearers of news she would hear soon

Did the grass sing?
Did the earth rejoice to feel You again?

Chorus:
Over and over like a trumpet underground
Did the earth seem to pound “He is risen!”
Over and over in a never-ending round
“He is risen! Alleluia! Alleluia!”

Was it a morning like this
When Peter and John ran from Jerusalem?
And as they raced toward the tomb
Beneath their feet was there a tune?

Did the grass sing?
Did the earth rejoice to feel You again?

Repeat Chorus Twice

Was it a morning like this
When my Lord looked out on Jerusalem?
He is risen!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Alleluia!

I arose just before sunrise singing this song and imagining what the women were thinking and feeling. And I praised God for knowing the whole story! My emotions of gratitude overwhelm me at times. I am that woman who must tell His Story “like a never-ending round”, HE IS RISEN!

“Oh, I’ll guard with my life what you’ve revealed to me, guard it now, guard it ever; And I’ll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom;
Then I’ll tell the world what I find, speak out boldly in public, unembarrassed. I cherish your commandments–oh, how I love them!–relishing every fragment of your counsel.” 
Psalm 119:44-47, Msg

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You. 
In Jesus Name, Amen
