Our ward choir might not quite be the tab choir, but we're a close second. Yesterday for Easter, we sang two of the most beautiful songs. One touched me very deeply. I would like to share the words with you ." Did you see him in the garden, when he bled from every pore?
Did you feel his lonely anguish
when he asked to drink no more?
Did you see his three disciples as they
slept through his great pain?
Did you hear his footsteps coming
taking upon the cross for men?
Did you watch him through the courtyards,
did you hear their angry lies?
Did you feel the lash upon you, did you follow by his side?
Were you there when they condemned him and they nailed him to a cross?
Did you hear him then forgive them as his loved ones mourned their loss?
Did you see him in his glory when the stone was rolled away?
Did you feel the hope of all men when his ransomed life was paid?
will you know him when you see him once again on heavenly thrones?
will he say to you in pure love, come to me,
thou art mine own?"
....words by Shawn M. Stringham
The music is as lovely as the words...it made for a very special Easter.
