He is risen : Happy Easter!!

I think that it's apt for my blog to resurrect on Easter, don't you? I wrote a poem on Friday night - I was inspired by the worship and by the message. Something seems to have changed in me. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm desperately hungry for more of God. More than that, I am hungry to see my friends grow in spirit as well. Right now I feel like I've been stabbed and I guess I'll always feel like that until everyone I know is saved. It's a good thing, trust me. I want to make sure that I'll be seeing everyone I know and love in eternity. Not everyone is going to agree with that but it's just me. Anyway, I'll stop rambling so you can read this long thing. It isn't amazing but it gets the point across I think.

I loved you more than life

Why?
Why did He suffer for my sins
And die for my wrong deeds?
So many criminals
Hung upon a cross
But He was different.
What had he done wrong?
Heal. Teach. Lead. Love?
Here was a man
Of soul so pure and white
Did He deserve to die?
I think not.
And yet...

Despite His sin-less life
He hung upon that cross
Scarred and sliced open
The gentle lamb was slain
I cry out again - why?!!
Why did He then not call
On angels to save Himself?
Just - one - word
Would have revealed His glory
And He would have lived.
Take the weights
Off my eyelids
Let me know the truth
Let me see with my own eyes
The reason for Your sacrifice.

"I gave my life because
That's why my Father made me
My destiny and purpose was
To live, to serve and to die.
I died that you might
Have life with all its wealth.
My blood washed
Away your sins
My tears opened
The gates of heaven.
I died for you
To have eternal life.
I died to break
The powers of darkness -
The devil's hold on your soul.
But more than that I loved you.
More than a husband loves his wife.
The truth, I say, is I loved you.
I loved you more than life."
