The Sea of Galilee
I remember when I was a pre-teen sitting in church one Easter Sunday and being brought to tears as a man with the voice of an angel sang "The Holy City." It's the song with the chorus: "Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Hark! How the Angels sing, Hosanna in the highest, Hosanna to your king!" I was really touched through the whole song, but especially as the words took us from Jesus' birth, to the cross, then to the changed earth, with the gates wide open welcoming everyone. "And no one was denied," the rich tenor voice rang out.
Overlooking Jerusalem as we were climbing Golgatha to the place of the crucifixion.
This morning I was listening to worship music and "The Holy City" came on and I was transported to various times in my life, feeling ever so grateful for the Savior. Another song, this one I got to hear remotely as it was sung by my granddaughters today in church, "I did not touch Him or sit on His knee, Yet, Jesus is real to me. I know He lives!"
I have so much hope for continued growth, for increased peace, and for eternal joy. Wishing you all a blessed Easter and a joyful spring.
