Easter Week

Wow, am I tired after last night's tournament games. Here, they lasted from midnight to almost 6 in the morning -- and I watched it all.

Consequently, I did not make it to church today! oops. :)

However, today I did get to meet with a Hungarian girl, Csilla, whom I met at the Thanksgiving outreach I did with some of the Campus Crusade people. She contacted me recently wanting to practice her English, and I really enjoyed meeting with her.

And it is finally spring! I wish I had had a camera with me earlier today to capture all of the cherry and almond trees in bloom. Lovely.

I forgot to mention that I'm singing in a Good Friday service this week! I really like this song; here's a demo version from Indelible Grace so you can get an idea of how it sounds. But the lyrics are really what make this song memorable. Enjoy, and may your Easter week be meaningful!

O Come and Mourn with me awhile
O come near to the Savior’s side
O come together, let us mourn
Jesus our lord is crucified

Seven times he spoke
Seven words of love
And all three hours, his silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men
Jesus our Lord is crucified

O Love of God O sin of man
In this dread act your strength is tried
And victory remains with love
Jesus our lord is crucified

O break, O break hard heart of mind
My weak self love and guilty pride
His Pilate and his Judas were
Jesus our lord is crucified

O love of god o sin of man
In this dread act your strength is tried
And victory remains in love
Jesus our lord is crucified

A broken heart a fount of tears
Ask and they will not be denied
A broken heart love’s cradle is
Jesus our Lord is crucified

O love of God o sin of man
In this dread act your strength is tried
And victory remains with love
Jesus our lord is crucified
