Countdown to Easter, #3
I have already promised that I won't get "religious" or even particularly thought-provoking on this blog. That isn't my intention in any way because I want to keep this a loose, fun kind of blog. However, with Easter quickly approaching, some of my posts may take on a more serious tone. I unashamedly do this. If my posts about Easter offend you, so be it. I won't apologize.
Since Easter is this weekend, the most important holiday for Christians, I'm "borrowing" Christopher's idea about sacred Christmas songs and changing it a little into contemporary Easter songs. On my countdown to favorite Easter-themed songs, here is one by Avalon:
I wonder how it must have felt
When David stood to face Goliath on a hill
I imagine that he shook with all his might
Until You took his hand, and held on tight
'Cause You were there, You were there
In the midst of danger's snare
You were there, You were there always
You were there when the hardest fight
Seemed so out of reach
Oh, You were there, You were always there
You were always there
So there he stood upon that hill
Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill
But God in all his sovereignty had bigger plans
And just in time, You brought a lamb
'Cause You were there,
You were there
In the midst of the unclear
You were there, you were there always
You were there when obedience
Seemed to not make sense
You were there, You were always there
You were always there
So haven't I learned that my ways
Aren't as high as Yours are?
And You alone keep the universe
From crumbling into dust
You are God and though we would
Not have understood You
There You were
Hanging blameless on a cross
You would rather die than leave us in the dark
Every moment, every planned coincidence
Just all makes sense
With Your last breath
You were there, You were there
During history's darkest hour
You were there, You were there always
You were the Victor and the King
You were the power in David's sling
You were the calm in Abraham
You are the God who understands
You are the strength when we have none
You are the living, Holy one
You were, You are and You will always be
the Risen Lamb of God
