Tender Mercy ~*~ Jesus O'Lord King Of Kings Our Saviour here are you tender mercy on this cross They crucified you with their cruel and calloused ways. Lord of love you forgive them what they do and ask for mercy on their souls. Crying out meekly to your Father in your anguish and pain. Asking for forgiveness for the men who did punish you for truths of teaching of your Father's word. O'Lord would that we could have you back among us to again teach us the ways in which we need to know so we can enter into the house with your Father at Heaven's gate Your servant ~*Marge Tindal*~ ~*~~*~~*~~*~ He is no longer Imprisoned within the tomb He fulfilled His Word The stone has been rolled away His promise - Eternal Life © ~Marge Tindal~ 2000 ~*~~*~~*~~*~ An Easter Egg For Jesus ~*Marge Tindal*~ Frilly dresses, Little bow ties, Colored eggs hidden all over the lawn. Baskets in hand, Scurrying to get it done. Find the one that has my name, No other one would do. Mom and Dad knew just where to place them and just where to point me to. Hurry, hurry ! Find 'em quick as you can. Cause when they've all been found, we can do it all over again. Tiny little Easter eggs scattered about the lawn. Pretty frilly dresses my sister and I put on. Mommy and Daddy hid the eggs as carefully as they could then they help us find them that was really good. Easter baskets filled with candy And lots of toys that we thought were dandy. We headed off to church after the hunt was done. For the real reason for Easter is celebrating Jesus, the Son. And with mighty reverence we learned about God's love. He sent His Son to die for our sins and then to rise above. Mom said it's okay to do the bunny thing as long as we remember, Jesus is the King. I took one Easter egg and colored it in a special way. I hid it in my heart for Jesus to find every day. It's wrapped in love and written on it is His name. It's deep within my heart and I am glad He came. ~*~*~*~*~*~ On The Streets At Calvary ~*Marge Tindal*~ I heard there was a parade So I came to see, what was so very special and what the event could be. I stood in awesome wonder at the sight out on the street. A man parading all alone, no shoes upon His feet. Upon His back a cumbersome cross, Whatever could this be? They told me His name was Jesus, He was willing to die for me. I watched in reflective silence as they pounded nails in His hands. He cried out only to His Father I did not understand. He spoke once more to His Father once more ... for me and for you, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' For many hours of the setting sun He did not say a word. And yet, in His silence, I know what I heard. 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son' Because He died for our sins, We do not have to ... not one. They took His body down and laid him in a tomb, the entrance they sealed with a boulder. Three days later He arose from the dead, ascending to join His Father. So, in reverence, I praise His name. Jesus, King of Kings. He gave His life so that I might live. Precious be His name. On Easter Sunday morning Remember Calvary's parade, I will as I worship the Son of The Father who lives within me still. ~Happy Easter to you all~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

You said it all and said it well, Marge. I have been going to church and to Lenten services faithfully but will miss the big day Easter Sunday, because I will be having perhaps thirty people for dinner and an egg hunt in my yard. And the weatherman says RAIN. Joyce |
