Easter and stuff

I was on such a blogging roll.  On Sunday I planned to share a song that we sang on Sunday morning that made me happy (and gave me chills).  Yesterday I planned to share a story about me and Stan in honor of our 6th Anniversary that came on March 20th, during our internet issues.  But Sunday afternoon my sinuses began to feel as if they were slowly expanding and taking over my head so I took the afternoon to rest and since it was a holiday here yesterday I took advantage of Stan not having class and also rested.  But today is back to normal.  I must run to the market and I have tutoring this afternoon so I have to take some medicine, suck it up and get on with the day.  Thanks to my good friend Jennifer , who seems to be the only friend I have that eats dinner, for giving me five new recipes to try out.  I'm making the Honey Roasted Potatoes for dinner tonight--if you want to check out her recipes look here.  Anyway, I thought I would at least still share this great song, even if a few days late.

How Deep the Father's Love For Us

How deep the Father's love for us,

How vast beyond all measure.

That He should give His only Son,

To make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss,

The Father turns His face away.

As wounds which mar the chosen One,

Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the Man upon a cross,

My sin upon His shoulders.

Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,

Call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there, 

Until it was accomplished.

His dying breath has brought me life,

I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything.

No gifts, no power, no wisdom.

But I will boast in Jesus Christ,

His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer.

But this I know with all my heart,

His wounds have paid my ransom.

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.  And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.  While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing; and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead? He is not here, but He has risen."

Luke 24:1-6a NASB
