You Who conquered death, hell, and the grave
Reign in me
Conquer the bitter roots that defile
and stink of death
Speak the words, “Come Forth!”
“Loose her from those graveclothes!”
Free me, enlarge me as You have promised
Let nothing grow in the soil of my heart
But that which is life giving
Live in me Resurrected Christ
Conquer all that is not of You
Reign in me O King forever
Cause me to rise and walk
In the newness of life You have promised
Free me from every shackle
That robs me of Your fullness
That robs me of Your joy
Speak the words, “Come Forth!”
“Loose her from those graveclothes!”
Clothe me in garments of praise once again
I want to dance on the high places
With You
Still following,
Elizabeth

That's my favorite part and my particular prayer these days. I think, in fact, that God might have given me where he wants to to go with my Easter SS lesson through you. I had been thinking something, but I feel very convicted after reading this.
(And about the dishes... we spread them among three homes, four if you count the newlywed niece. That helps)
How awesome and powerful and lovely all at once! God is so good and faithful--I love being a daughter of the King!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
