The Gospel Truth

Welcome ye, who come to worship
And to recognize His Lordship
He spilled His blood for us to cleanse
And to provide our recompense
The futile grave gave up her dead
It was just as the prophets said
He arose when three days passed
Emmanuel had come at last
With grateful hearts we recall, thus
Now, Lord, please bless and forgive us






Inspired by Brian Strand's contest, An Easter Epistle.

...."O death, where is then your victory? Where then your sting? For sin --the sting that causes death--will all be gone; and the law, which reveals our sins, will no longer be our judge. How we thank God for all of this! It is He who makes us victorious through Jesus Christ our Lord!!!"...And that would be, to those whom accept "His Precious Blood of Sacrifice!!?....cont....
