Good Friday

Normally, every Friday is a good one for me as it signals the end of a long and typically busy & stressful week. But this Friday is a special one as it is a day of remembering the hugest act of love one person has ever done for me. My Heavenly Father committed his Son, my Savior, to death on a cross so I could have eternal life in heaven with Him. What wondrous love is this!!

I have spent some time in reflection on this today, and often reflection for me includes music. The following are the lyrics to the song that has most touched my heart and through which I have heard my Savior speak to me today. Remember there is only ONE place to finding true peace--in the arms of Jesus!

Voice of a Savior sung by Mandisa
Some people try to listen to the bottom of a bottle
Some people try to listen to a needle in their arm
Some people try to listen to the money in their pocket
Some people try to listen to another's arms

You and I are not that different
We got a void and we're just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We'd give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior

Some people try to find it with blind ambition
Some people try to find it where no one else has gone
Some people try to find it in the crowns of victory
Some people get defeated and lose the strength to carry on

Some people try to find it in the shadow of a steeple
Some people try to find it in the back row pew
Some people try to find it in the arms of Jesus
That's where I found it, how about you?
