Good Friday
I had to work today, so I had to miss our church's Good Friday service... very disappointing... *sadness* But, I shall recover. :-)
I wanted to post the lyrics to one of my new favorite songs, which I think is very appropriate for Good Friday:
The Power Of The Cross
Oh to see the dawn
Of the darkest day;
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Tried by sinful men,
Torn and beaten then
Nailed to a cross of wood.
This the power of the cross:
Christ became sin for us,
Took the blame, bore the wrath -
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Oh to see the pain
Written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Every bitter thought,
Every evil deed
Crowning Your stained brow.
This the power...
Now the daylight flees,
Now the ground beneath
Quakes as it's Maker bows His head.
Curtain torn in two;
Dead are raised to life;
Finished! the victory cry.
This the power...
Oh to see my name
Written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to ;
Life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love.
This the power of the cross:
Son of God, slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.

Megan, you can try www.gettydirect.com to listen to it or a clip...
Not much is up, I am doing pretty well... Yes, I was bummed that we had to miss the service. Have a good Easter! :-)
Ghost, Keith Getty wrote the song and Kristyn Getty, Margaret Becker, and Joanne Hogg sang it... I believe they're all Irish.
