Happy Easter 2010

Happy Easter everyone! He is Risen.... He is Risen Indeed! Went to two church services today, both were nice. I have a couple songs stuck in my head that are rather appropriate for the Easter time. One is a fave of mine, listened to it while driving:

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
Fulness 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 ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

And here's another, during the 11am service I was at, love it:

Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me

Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations

Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of Salvation
He rose & conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears & failures
Fill my life again

I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender (I surrender)

Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of Salvation
He rose & conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Shine Your light &
Let the whole world see
We're singing
For the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus

You're the Savior
You can move the mountains
Lord You are mighty to save
You are mighty to save
Forever
Author of Salvation
You rose & conquered the grave
Yes You conquered the grave

And another, at the service at my family's church:

God above all the world in motion, God above all my hopes and fears, Well I don't care what the world throws at me now, It's gonna be alright!  Hear the sounds of the generatorions, Making loud our freedom song, All in all that the world will know Your name, We're gonna be alright!  Cause I know my God saved the day, And I know His word never fails, And I know my God made a way for me, Salvation is here.  God above all the world in motion, God above all my hopes and fears, Well I don't care what the world throws at me now, It's gonna be alright!  Cause I know my God saved the day, And I know His word never fails, And I know my God made a way for me, It's gonna be alright!  Cause I know my God saved the day, And I know His word never fails, And I know my God made a way for me, Salvation is here.  Salvation is here, Salvation is here and it lives in me, Salvation is here, Salvation in God means to set me free, Salvation is here, Salvation is here and it lives in me, Salvation is here, Cause you are alive and you live in me! Salvation is here, Salvation is here and it lives in me, Salvation is here, Cause you are alive and you live in me!  Cause I know my God saved the day, And I know His word never fails, And I know my God made a way for me, It's gonna be alright!  Cause I know my God saved the day, And I know His word never fails, And I know my God made a way for me, Salvation is here.  
Anyway, thought you might be interested. Both services were good, nice way to remember that Jesus is risen. Even though I remember it from time-to-time, it's hard to dwell on most of the time (sad, I know).
The rest of the day went fine, watched "Cars" with the fam., did a little homework, did a LOT of Farmville (yay!), and chatted on the phone with a friend. Good day.
Well, my break is officially over. School is back tomorrow. Ugh, not sure if I'm ready.
