just for today . . . sound of silence . . 3/29/13

Dear Holy Friends,   The sun is brilliant this morning. This day is so amazing in our lives. Sometimes I wish every year on Good Friday the sky would darken for the same hours it did the day He died. Just think, if it happened each year, eventually people would have to stop finding false explanations and look to the Source of it all!   in His grip, Chandra Lynn Smith     sound of silence   Have you ever experience silence     that makes all things dead and still? I think that's what happened     on top of Calvary's hill. Jesus hung on that cross     bearing all of my sin, And, as He hung there dying      no angel help entered in. The Man who had sweet communion     with His Father above, Hung there in pain and silence     with nothing but His love. His Father had to turn away     from all my sins He bore, And the silence of heaven     was like nothing ever before. How alone He must have felt     as His loved ones turned their backs. Yet His love kept Him up there     saving me kept Him on track. The sound of silence that day     the sound of love saving my soul. May I never forget or reject     such perfect love that makes me whole.   ~Chandra Lynn Smith~
