Good Friday

David just sent me this picture from his camera so I thought I would share it with you all as well. This was taken on Good Friday, just before the service where David directed the choir and I played along with my violin--such a great service and such a blessing to be able to play along!

It was truly a good Friday. It is amazing to think that the Lord of all Creation died on the cross in our place...and what joy to know that three days later He rose again! Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;

Spotless Lamb of God was He;

“Full atonement!” can it be?

Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Philip P. Bliss, 1875

The greatest gift!

What thou, my Lord, has suffered was all for sinners' gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression, but thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve thy place;
Look on me with thy favor, vouch safe to me thy grace.

What language shall I borrow to thank thee, dearest friend,
For this thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end?
O make me thine forever; and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never outlive my love for thee.

(O Sacred Head Now Wounded)
