The month of April represents a few things that I love –
Easter, pansies, hot cross buns and school holidays. Which I think is more fun
for my daughter, but to have a house full of teenage girls with Blackberry
phones, loud music and laughter warms my heart!!
I just adore the childlike portrait of Easter - bunnies, colored
eggs and pastel colors. It really brings back childhood memories of Egg hunt
and receiving those beautiful big chocolate bunnies or hens, and not even to
talk about the plain white ones that look like real eggs. Those are actually my
favorite.
But, just like Christmas it is not about the bunnies and the
eggs, it is so much more!! It is a time to reflect and to be so grateful for
the biggest gift ever received.
In
Christ alone my hope is found,
He
is my light, my strength, my song;
This
Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm
through the fiercest drought and storm,
What
heights of love, what depths of peace,
When
fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My
comforter, my All in All,
Here
in the love of Christ I stand.
In
Christ alone! - Who took on flesh,
Fullness
of God in helpless babe!
This
gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned
by the ones he came to save:
Till
on that cross as Jesus died
The
wrath of God was satisfied -
For
every sin on Him was laid;
Here
in the death of Christ I live.
There
in the ground His body lay,
Light
of the world by darkness slain;
Then,
bursting forth in glorious Day,
Up
from the grave He rose again!
And
as he stands in victory
Sin's
curse has lost its grip on me,
For
I am His and He is mine
Bought
with the precious blood of Christ.
No
guilt in life, no fear in death.
This
is the power of Christ in me;
From
life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus
commands my destiny.
No
power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can
every pluck me from His hand;
Till
He returns or calls me home,
Here
in the power of Christ I'll stand!
