Happy Easter

I was listening to the radio tonight and heard this song. I have heard it lots of times before, but today it hit me in a completely different way. This song really speaks to the Easter holiday. Our world is in a very dark place. Similar to the darkness the world experienced when Christ was crucified. Darkness that consumed the earth. The sun was darkened. For three days the earth mourned. The followers of Jesus were mourning the death of the one they thought had come to bring a new kingdom. They mourned the hope they had held on to. They mourned the death of a friend. Hope seemed lost.
And then came Sunday! Jesus conquered death. He broke the seal of his tomb, rolled away the stone, and walked among us. HE AROSE! Hope returned. He came back to life to bring healing and restoration.
Jesus is the Resurrection Hope! Happy Easter!
Tree63 – SundayFrom the album – Sunday
Nothing’s sacred, the days are cheap
Truth is thin on the ground
Still our prophets are crucified
Nobody believes we’re stumbling
It’s Friday, but Sunday is coming

Someone’s saying a prayer tonight
For hungry mouths to be filled
Someone kneels in the dark somewhere
And darkness is already crumbling
It’s Friday, but Sunday comes

(Chorus)
Sunday – Hallelujah – it’s not so far, it’s not so far away
Sunday – Hallelujah – it’s not so far, it’s not so far away

Broken promises, weary hearts
But one promise remains:
Crucified, he will come again
It’s Friday, but Sunday is coming
It’s Friday, but Sunday comes

(Chorus)

Darkness is already crumbling
It’s Friday, but Sunday is coming

(Chorus)
