Good Friday

On this Good Friday we reflect on Christ's time on the cross and what it meant. One song we sang in Church today was, "Beneath the Cross of Jesus"

Beneath the cross of Jesus

I fain would take my stand,

the shadow of a mighty rock

within a weary land;

a home within the wilderness,

a rest upon the way,

from the burning of the noontide heat,

and the burden of the day.

Upon that cross of Jesus   mine eye at times can see   the very dying form of One   who suffered there for me;   and from my stricken heart with tears   two wonders I confess:   the wonders of redeeming love   and my unworthiness. 

 I take, O cross, thy shadow   for my abiding place;   I ask no other sunshine than   the sunshine of his face;   content to let the world go by,   to know no gain nor loss,   my sinful self my only shame,   my glory all the cross. 

Maggie went to the Good Friday service with me...this is her on the way out the door with her purse (a.k.a Bennett's toy barn full of animals).
