What can wash away my sin?
What can make me whole again?
For my cleansing this I see--
For my pardon this my plea--
Nothing can my sin erase
Naught of works, 'tis all of grace--
This is all my hope and peace--
This is all my righteousness--
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Thank you, Lord for saving me. Thank you, Lord for setting me free. You have truly made me white as snow and no sins do I hold. You are my one strong KING, Thank you, Lord for purchasing me.
Townes tells the story perfectly. Tonight as we laid in his bed, he retold the story of what Easter was. " Mama, Jejus died on cross ..stone rolled away and empty"!! With excitement is his precious little voice he goes on to tell me.." Jejus(jesus :)) died for sins, He's ALIVE, the bad mans not kill him". Oh sweet angel, you are so right, he is ALIVE. He went on to tell me that he wanted Jejus to die again so that we could have the Easter story after Easter (this makes me smile) because I can see his little heart and what he really means to say. He has shown such a great love for Jesus and he wants to know more all the time, he just doesn't want the story to be over. With tears in my eyes I answered him, " Honey, Easter is never over, we should make the story of Easter our favorite story the one we remember to read everynight." He grinned from ear to ear, " that a good dea (idea) mama!" Oh how beautiful the heart of a child.

Amen, Townes! I love the new-ness of the Easter story through the eyes and minds of children. We need their fresh perspective and more childlike wonder in our own lives.
