Happy Early Easter

Happy Early Easter, originally uploaded by rox130.

When I was a kid, I thought Easter was about the Easter bunny, Easter
baskets and hunting for eggs! I have great memories of those times in my
life. But it wasn’t until I became a believer in Jesus as my Savior that
the true meaning of Easter came into understanding for me. What an
awesome gift. This song from Chris Tomlin’s album "Hello Love" is one
of my favorites. When I saw him in concert he said this was his
favorite song on the album and I can see why! Just thinking about the
day that Jesus will call my name!!!!! Wow!!!
Following are the lyrics. If you get a chance to listen to it somewhere
online, please do. Its beautiful!

I Will Rise
Chris Tomlin

There’s a peace I’ve come to know
though my heart and flesh may fail
There’s an anchor for my soul.
I can say it is well.

Jesus has overcome
and the grave is overwhelmed.
Victory is won.
He is risen from the dead.
And I will rise when He calls my name.
No more sorrow, no more pain.
I will rise, on eagles wings before my God fall on my knees
and rise. I will rise.

There’s a day that’s drawing near.
When this darkness breaks to light.
And the shadows disappear
and my faith shall be my eyes.

Jesus has overcome
and the grave is overwhelmed.
Victory is won.
He is risen from the dead.
And I will rise when He calls my name.
No more sorrow, no more pain.
I will rise, on eagles wings before my God fall on my knees
and rise. I will rise.

And I hear the voice of many angels sing
Worthy is the Lamb!
And I hear the cry of every longing heart
Worthy is the Lamb!
And I hear the voice of many angels sing
Worthy is the Lamb!
And I hear the cry of every longing heart.
You are worthy, You are worthy
Worthy is the Lamb.

I will rise, when He calls my name.
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise, on eagles wings
before my God fall on my knees
and rise. I will rise.
I will rise.
