not a word was heard at the tomb that day. just shuffling soldiers feet as they guarded the grave. 1 day 2 days 3 days had past. could it be that Jesus breathed his last? could it be that His father had forsaken Him? turned His back on His son, despising our sin? all hell seemd to whipser “just forget it, He’s dead”
then the Father looked down at His son and said

Arise My Love
Arise My Love
the grave no longer has a hold on you

No more deaths sting
No more suffering
Arise, Arise My Love!

the earth trembled and the tomb began to shake. and like lightening from heaven, the stone was rolled away. and as dead men – the guards – they all stood there in fright.
as the Power of Love displayed its might. then suddenly a melody filled the air. riding wings of wind -it was everywhere. the words all creation had been longing to hear,
the sweet sounds of VICTORY so loud and clear.

Arise My Love
Arise My Love
the grave no longer has a hold on you

No more deaths sting
No more suffering
Arise, Arise My Love

sin – where are your shackels?
death – where is your sting?
hell – has been defeated.
the grave could not hold the King.

Arise My Love
Arise My Love
the grave no longer has a hold on you

No more deaths sting
No more suffering
Arise, Arise My Love

my song of the Moment
“newsong” and -Arise My Love.

this song encompasses all i stand for. all i believe in. all that i feel has any “worth” in all of who i am.
and – it holds all that matters.

and in other news – i watched a lil bit of the “tonite show” this evening. Josh Hartnett was on. star of the MUST SEE moive “black hawk down”. although, to my disdain – he wasnt there to promote the wonderful piece of cinematography that was Black Hawk Down. he was promoting his new slime fest – 40 days and 40 nites. a movie in which he plays a young man who takes a vow during Lent to abstain from all forms of sexual pleasuring. be it sex – or self pleasuring. interesting idea for a movie. and just as pathetic.

ladies, for a man to prove himself – abstaining from sex shouldnt be a challenge. it should be something that he doesnt break a sweat over. not that im an expert in either field. but ill save you my rantings on this.

i will leave you with one more thought.

friendship – sometimes means not being there.

think about it
until the next installment from the life i think im living….
nite
