Easter is not a season we celebrate
but love's reason to rejoice and celebrate every day eternally🎝🎜🙌
1 Pet. 1:18-21
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold
that you were redeemed from the empty way of life
handed down to you from your ancestors,
but with the precious blood of Christ,
a lamb without blemish or defect.
He was chosen before the creation of the world,
but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
Through him you believe in God,
who raised him from the dead and glorified him,
and so your faith and hope are in God.
How precious is the fountain filled with everlasting life
The lifeblood of our Saviour spilled where pardon still runs rife
Where not just once but constantly awe draws us to the place
That sets the sorry sinner free with love’s redeeming grace
To gaze upon Mangled Perfection with beholden breath
And praise God for the resurrection that overcame death
How precious is the fountain, not of water but of blood
Where we are drawn so often just to marvel at its flood
And wash in torrents that atone, where joy and sorrow meld
In worship, as we weep and groan through trials not withheld
Where we are more than conquerors, through He who loves us so
The anchor of hope not authored by what we see, but know
How precious is the fountain that streams from Calvary’s cross
Where faith can remove mountains if we count all but Christ loss
'Dear Lord have mercy, I believe, now help mine unbelief
Make the reward faith will receive, desire’s earnest chief'
As we press on victor'ous, through the precious blood of Christ
May the joy set before us make sweet every sacrifice
