Easter Thoughts

I have had a lot of thoughts mulling around in my head this weekend. I've been thinking about my relationship with God, what he did for me years ago, etc. I wanted to write blog about it, but I can't really put my thoughts into words.

Because music really speaks to me, I thought I'd share one of the songs that really spoke to me this weekend. It's called All for Love by Hillsong. Goes like this:

All for love the Father gave
For only love could make a way
All for love the heavens cried
For love was crucified

Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me

Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You

Let me sing all for love
I will join the angels song
Ever holy is the Lord
King of Glory
King of all

All for a love a Saviour prayed
Abba Father have Your way
Though they know not what they do
Let the Cross draw man to You

It's a really beautiful song, and really is exactly where I'm at. It's amazing and so breathtaking to think that no matter what I've done God is still there for me. If I had been the only one on earth when he was ready to die, he would have died for me. It makes me speechless.

"Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." ~ Romans 5:7-8

Message translation:

"We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him."
