~This Easter, and always, let us share our Wonderous Story of Jesus.~
What songs do you remember that you love about the resurrection of Jesus? So many of these songs are in my heart and are so meaningful to me.
I Will Sing The Wonderous Story
This beautiful hymn was written in 1886 by Francis Rowley. It is called "I Will Sing the Wonderous Story". This Easter let us all sing the wonderous story.
I will sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me.
How He left His home in glory
For the cross of Calvary.
I was lost, but Jesus found me,
Found the sheep that went astray,
Threw His loving arms around me,
Drew me back into His way.
I was bruised, but Jesus healed me;
Faint was I from many a fall;
Sight was gone, and fears possessed me,
But He freed me from them all.
Days of darkness still come o'er me,
Sorrow's paths I often tread,
But the Savior still is with me;
By His hand I'm safely led.
He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
Then He'll bear me safely over,
Where the loved ones I shall meet.
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Of the Christ who died for me,
Sing it with the saints in glory,
Gathered by the crystal sea.
What Is Your Story?
Each of us has a story to tell. How did you come to know the Lord? So many people I know have been possessed by fear and damaged by the falls that have come their way during life, and although dark days still happen even after they come to know God, they know now that Jesus our Savior is with them and leads them like a loving Shepherd. Yes, Jesus has freed us from our fears and hurts, praise His holy name!
Jesus's Complete Sacrifice
Jesus left his glorious home to die on the cross for each of us. He came to find His lost sheep and to bring them into the fold. His resurrection made all of this possible.
This Easter I am reminded of a quote from Octavius Winslow:
"So completely was Jesus bent upon saving sinners by the sacrifice of Himself, He created the tree upon which He was to die, and nurtured from infancy the men who were to nail Him to the accursed wood."
Sing Of His Glory
Eventually we will, if we know Him, be gathered together with all the saints to sing of His glory. In Revelation 5: 13 we read our song:
“Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!”
We sing praises to our God and King!
Tell Your Story
Your story, your song, doesn't have to wait, you can tell it now. When you have the opportunity, share what our wonderous Savior has done for you. Let the world know that He died for you and them. Tell them how He reached out to you, the stray lamb, and brought you back into His way. Let others know we serve a risen Savior! A Savior who loves us beyond our comprehension and who seeks us, even now, to follow Him.
