I hope that all of you sweet chickies had a WONDERFUL Easter. We had a great day. We started by celebrating Jesus' resurrection. 2 people from our church sang one of the most beautiful songs that I've ever heard. The song is called "New Again" and it touched me deeply. You will find a link to the youtube vid and the song lyrics later in my post. After church, we went to Darren's parents' home for Easter lunch and egg hunts. We had a great day visiting with our family members. I will have lots of photos to share over the next few days. : )


Here is a YouTube video if you're interested in listening to the song. Brad Paisley and Sara Evans do a fantastic job singing these haunting lyrics. The video shows scenes from a "must-see" movie, The Passion of The Christ.

Here are the lyrics:
Mother - do not cry for me
All of this is exactly how it's supposed to be
I'm right here. Can you hear my voice?
My life, my love, my Lord....my baby boy

As they nail me to this tree
Just know my Father waits for me
God how can this be your will?
To have your son and my son killed?
Whatever happens...whatever you see...
Whatever your eyes tell you has become of me
This is not...Not the end...
I am making all things new again

I remember when you were born
In that manger where I first held
You in my arms
So many miracles and lives you've changed
And this world repays you how?
With all this pain

****
Wow! I get emotional just reading the lyrics. Thank you God for giving us the best gift that we could ever have--your son Jesus Christ. It's overwhelming knowing that you LOVE US so much that you have given us the gift of life; all we need to do is believe and accept.
