Though you might think that Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art or In the Garden might be the most requested hymns. But at Sunshine Memory Care, “Love Lifted Me!” is their favorite. You can hear the joy in their voices as they join with me as we song this song, but with a different message on this Easter week. I hope you will enjoy listening in and pray for more volunteers so that we can bring this message of hope to many others who are sinking deep in sorrow, loneliness as well as sin. Jesus specializes in lifting us up whenever we look to Him! (And not just at Easter!)

Seven Words – On a Friday Afternoon
Seven words our Savior spoke As He was dying there Three words of comfort gently said Three more He asked in prayer First He cried out “O I thirst!” But they gave him vinegar Then, “Father forgive they do not know What they have done to Me.” Next to the dying thief He spoke “In paradise you’ll be.” And to John and Mary whispered “My friend and faithful Mother Remember that from this day on To care for one another.” “My God – My God O why have You Forsaken Me this day?” Echoed down from that dark hill Now, “It’s finished!” they heard Him say The Father’s will was done and then “Into Your hands.” He sighed And as the world looked on in wonder Our Lord was crucified Seven Words by Peter Caligiuri Copyright © 2020 All rights reserved
The World Stood Still
He walked on water Gave life to the dead And fed five thousand With five loaves of bread But on the Cross At His Father’s will Jesus gave His life While the world stood still While the soldiers gambled For the clothes He wore His disciples trembled Behind locked doors But by His side One thief believed And Mary wept As He struggled to breath And the thunder roared And the darkness fell Then He cried “Forgive!” And the world stood still The World Stood Still by Peter Caligiuri © copyright 2022 All rights reserved And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments. Luke 23:34 ESV
