He is not here, for He is risen, just as He said.
Matthew 28:6
Let us break the alabaster vial
Let us give a sacrifice of worship
Let us prepare our hearts to remember that our savior died,
He gave His life, His all for us
Let us take up the bread,
And lift up the wine
Let us remember the body that was broken,
The blood that was shed for the forgiveness of our sins
Lord, there is peace!
On Your own initiative, You have paid the price,
Laid down Your life-
Your blood has turned away wrath and judgement
Through Your blood,
We have been made perfect in conscience
Fully forgiven, eternally redeemed,
Given direct access into Your presence
Oh, what a blessing,
To be brought near to God!
Through the death of our Savior,
We approach the throne of grace boldly
Lord, Your blood has covered our sins
The veil has been torn!
You have thrown back the curtain,
And invited us to follow You in to the Holy of Holies
We are able to draw near with a sincere heart,
In full assurance of faith
Praise the Lord!
It is finished-
The covenant has been ratified
Once and for all, our debt is cancelled!
Not only did You die for us,
But on Your own authority,
You rose again!
Your glorification has come.
Will we find our Savior among the dead?
No! He is not with them,
For He has risen!
On the third day, just as He said
I praise You, Lord, for Your faithfulness
When You speak, it is done-
It will come to pass, just as You have said
For You, oh Lord, are trustworthy
All authority has been given to you,
In heaven and on earth
You are exalted above all- Your name is LORD
Every knee will bow,
Every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!
The Holy Spirit has been poured out on all those who believe
From our innermost being,
Flow rivers of living water!
The Lord is glorified!
We are born again to a living hope,
Through the resurrection of our Savior
In our hearts, worship has been reinstituted,
And we cry out, “My Lord and my God!”
Since coming to salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ in 2010, I have been striving to write poetry that brings praise and worship to the Lord. It is my hope that this poetry is an encouragement to my fellow believers and that it reminds them of His Word and directs them to it. I am the mother of two beautiful girls, Alice and Elsie, and a wife to my wonderful husband, Dan Williams. I love to read, to write, and to draw.
