I wanted to post this yesterday...but too busy.
I'll post more about all of our fun later...but for now, I wanted to add the lyrics to one of the songs we sang in our ward choir yesterday. It was one of those songs that you never want to stop singing...so beautiful! I'll be sad that we're done...though it was wonderful to perform it and I think we did a bang-up job, if I don't say so myself. Hehe!
Behold The Wounds In Jesus' Hands
written by John V. Pearson and put to music by David R. Naylor
Behold the wounds in Jesus' hands,
The Marks upon His side.
Then ponder who He meant to save
when on the cross He died.
We cannot see the love of God
Which saves us from the fall,
Yet know that Christ from wood and nails
built mansions for us all.
Behold the outstreched hands of Christ,
Our God, who came to save,
Whose love and grace redeems our souls
And lifts us from the grave.
Though bruised and battered as we stray
His loving hands caress, | |
| Elsa Easter Egg 2011 |
He washes and annoints with oil
Then in His arms we rest.
Behold the wounds in Jesus' hands,
Look to your Lord and live
He yearns to bless you with His love
And all your sins forgive.
Oh empty is the heart of man
When it is filled with sin.
Come open wide your broken heart
And let your Savior in!
Behold His wounded hands and feet!
Come touch and see and feel
The wounds and marks that you may know
His love for you is real.
Then as you fall to worship Him
And wash His feet in tears,
Your Savior takes you in His arms
And quiets all your fears.
Your Savior takes you in His arms
And quiets all your fears.
HOPE, LOVE, JOY

I love that hymn. My favorite line is the "Yet know that Christ from wood and nails/built mansions for us all"
