Go ahead, drive the nails in My hands;
Laugh at me... where you stand.
Go ahead, and say it isn't Me;
The day will come... when you will see.
(Refrain)
'Cause I'll rise.... again;
Ain't no power on earth can keep Me down!
Yes, I'll rise... again;
Death can't keep Me in the ground.
Go ahead, mock My name;
My love for you is still the same.
Go ahead, and bury Me;
But very soon, I will be free!
(Refrain) (Instrumental bridge)
Go ahead, and say I'm dead and gone,
But you will see that you were wrong.
Go ahead, try to hide the Son;
But all will see that I'm the One!
(Final refrain)
'Cause I'll come again!
Ain't no power on earth can keep me back!
Yes, I'll come again;
Come to take My people back.

Coffeehouse
Just a little something I wrote for my English class last quarter, the class I loved to pieces. We had so much fun:)
Loud, sharp continues noises, grinding mixing, floating in and out of hearing.
The faint melody of overhead music is barely audible, almost drowned out by conversations going on around me.
Just white noise.
That bitter taste overwhelms my tongue, creamy and strong nearly scorching the roof of my mouth as I try to savor it.
Good dark coffee .
The smell of ground coffee beans drifts by, freshly ground, releasing their aroma to the full room.
It covers my clothes and hair with the smell of roasted coffee. And as I walk out, the scent drifts with me and lingers in the wool of my clothes for hours after.

I Will Wait For You.......
This is amazing. Kudos and many thanks to Claire who first descovered it:)
But just to warn you, once you begin watching these testimonies of such extraordinary artists, it's really hard to stop. I was up to midnight last night...just saying.

Love Crucified Arose.......
I have a YouTube playlist that I recently created, which contains some of my favorite Easter songs and Christian artists that I've grown up listening to. With only Easter 11 songs on this playlist, I often tend to put it on shuffle and let the songs play through in one continues loop, over and over, pretty much any time I have my computer open.
These songs bring back memories of Sunday afternoons and driving home from church. I have vivid memories of certain family members, (the most memorable of which was my dad) dancing to the tunes in the kitchen and all of us singing at the top of our lungs to old Michael Card cd's or the classics of Randy Travis.
The lyrics to some of those older Christian artists are so full of the gospel and seem to have much more of a solid theological message, which is deeper than what many Christian artists’ play on the radio today.
One song that never grows old for me is Michael Cards "Love Crucified Arose"
Long ago He blessed the earth
Born older than the years
And in the stall a cross He saw
Through the first of many tears
A life of homeless wandering
Cast out in sorrow's way
The Shepherd seeking for the lost
His life, the price He paid
Love crucified, arose
The Risen One in splendor
Jehovah soul Defender
Has won the victory
Love crucified, arose
And the grave became a place of hope
For the heart that sin and sorrow broke
Is beating once again
Throughout Your life You felt the weight
Of what You'd come to give
To drink for us that crimson cup
So we might really live
At last the time to love and die
The dark appointed day
That one forsaken moment
When Your Father turned His face away
Love crucified, arose
The One who lived the died for me
Was Satan's nail-pierced casualty
Now He's breathing once again
Love crucified, arose
And the grave became a place of hope
For the heart that sin and sorrow broke
Is beating once again
Love crucified, arose
The Risen One in splendor
Jehovah soul defender
Has won the victory
Love crucified, arose
And the grave became a place of hope
for the heart that sin and sorrow broke
is beating once again
Love crucified, arose
The One who lived and died for me
Was Satan's nail-pierced casualty
Now He's breathing once again.
Another favorite of mine is this song by Dallas Holm
