You Were on the Cross - Matt Maher

For Good Friday:

"You Were On The Cross"


Lost, everything is lost
And everything I've loved before is gone
Alone like the coming of the frost
And a cold winter's chill in my stony heart

And where were You when all that I've hoped for?
Where You when all that I've dreamed?
Came crashing down in shambles around me
You were on the cross

Pain, could you take away the pain?
If I find someone to blame, would it make my life seem easier?
Alone, all my friends are asleep
And I can't find anyone to stay awake with me

Where were You when sin stole my innocence?
Where were You when I was ashamed?
Hiding in a life, I wish, I never made

You were on the cross, my God, my God, alone, alone
You were on the cross, You died for us, alone, alone
You were on the cross, victorious, alone, alone

You were there in all of my suffering
And You were there in doubt and in fear
I'm waiting on the dawn to reappear

Conversation with a 4 year old

Kelly:  "Mom, I have a question."

Me: "I have an answer."

Kelly: "What's your answer?"

Me: "What's your question?"

Kelly:  "How come some people don't have children?"

Me:  "Well, some people are too young to have children, some people have children but their children are all grown up so you don't see them anymore, some people aren't married yet so they don't have children... So that's why."

 Kelly:  "So what's your answer?"

 Additional 4 year old questions we heard yesterday:

Kelly:  "Daddy I have a question:  Why don't people grow up baby, adult, child?"
Kelly:  "Mom I have a question:  What makes humans and animals different?"
Kelly:  "Daddy I have a question: Why do grilled cheese sandwiches have to be cooked?"

A lot goes on up in that great mind of hers!

The Girls Color The First Batch of Eggs







"God isn't done making me"

If you can't make out what Kelly said about her picture at the bottom here it is again, "Mom, this is a picture of you and me.  And this is the sun reflecting down.  And these are the people God hasn't finished making, including me."
