Psalm 47:1 (NIV)
Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.
Hallelujah!
“Ah Christians, ring the bells of your hearts, fire the salute of your most joyous songs . . . Dance, O my heart, and ring out peals of gladness!” Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)
Peter, John, come run and see,
the tomb was not His prison!
Death had lost its victory,
for Jesus now is risen!
I went early today to pray,
for what else could I do?
But the stone was rolled away,
and I knew that it was true,
His promise that He would return,
and not leave us alone, bereft;
the hope for which we lived to yearn
had never ever really left.
Peter, John, please look within
upon the last defeat of sin!
Some hearts dance, others ring bells . . . Andrew, your heart writes poetry! This is beautiful. Seems like it should go in a book, just sayin’.
