MYSTERY MOMENTS

Mystery moments are the gemstones
That are found by searching hearts
Digging deep within the mine shafts
Of God's Word in all its parts.

Genesis through Revelation
Holds the key each wonder shares
From the mystery of creation
To God's call from earthly cares.

Eden's mystery tells the story
Of the chasm caused by sin
And the promise of a Savior
That would offer peace within.

Priest and prophets shared their vision
Of Messiah's virgin birth
Of His death and resurrection
His return again to earth.

Yet the story most intriguing
Is the mystery of the Church
His indwelling holy Presence
With its waiting Bride on earth.

Heaven's Bridegroom is the Savior
Who laid down His life for you
You can have a mystery moment
If you trust the Savior too.

EASTER MORNING!


Night had settled in Judea 
Death had claimed the crucified
 
But the stone rent from its mooring
 
Where the Lord lay wrapped inside.
 

Soldiers kept a careful vigil
 
Pilate's seal could not be torn
 
But the power of God descended
 
On that early Easter morn.
 

Jesus rose the mighty victor
 
Death no longer held its prey
 
Captive souls once held in bondage
 
Were released that
Easter day. 

Saints and angels join the chorus
 
Christ has risen from the dead
 
Heaven echoes back the story
 
He has risen as He said.
 

Chorus
 
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
 
Christ is risen from the dead
 
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
 
He has risen as He said.
