Happy Easter!

I grew up as a very conservative Presbyterian minister's daughter. We sang hymns most of my childhood. We moved to TX when I hit jr high and it was there that we were in a church that started singing "praise songs". I have loved them ever since. However, there is something so beautiful and pure about the old hymns. My favorite is when they take a hymn and make it a little more modern. You still have the beauty of those words, but a sound that appeals to the younger generation. The following song sums up what Easter is all about to me. We attended a HUGE Baptist church for awhile last year. Their worship was INCREDIBLE. We only stopped going there because it was so large. They sang this song many times and each instance, I felt God's presence in such a powerful way! Read these words and then watch the video! Happy Easter!

JESUS PAID IT ALL
ALL TO HIM I OWE
SIN HAD LEFT A CRIMSON STAIN
HE WASHED IT WHITE AS SNOW
