My Lord is risen!
Death has lost its sting
The power of sin can no longer
keep me a prisoner.
Yes, I may still struggle with sin,
but praise God He is able
to deliver me from it.
I am truly alive
because My Savior rose
and is alive again–
in me.
My heart rejoices that
the resurrection power
which raised Jesus from the dead
can be empower the parts of my life
that seem dead at times—
like my marriage
my writing life,
my role as a mother
and grandmother,
and my desire to embrace fully
the purpose God has given me
to live out on this earth.
Because He is risen I can have
joy in my heart despite
the pain and sorrow that
try to take over my life.
Praise God– instead of spending
eternity in the torment of hell,
I can look forward to a forever
in heaven celebrating
and enjoying the presence
of the precious One who
paid my debt on the cross
and three days later rose again,
so I could have life and freedom.
How will I ever repay this One
who did so much for me?
I never can.
But one thing I can do
is tell others what Easter
and My Savior mean to me.
Romans 8:11
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
