Today my heart is full

on Easter Sunday I finally stopped worrying about life long enough to reflect on all I do have. My eyes keep tearing, but my heart is full.

...My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.

...At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!...

...Christ the Lord is risen today, allelujah! Sons of men and angels say, allelujah! Raise your voice and triumphs high, allelujah! Seek ye Heaven, and earth rejoice, allelujah!...

...Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love...

...Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come, Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home, When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me; His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me....

...For I know my redeemer lives, and in the end he will stand on the earth. For I know my redeemer lives, and in the end he will reign on the earth....

...Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey....

...Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood....

Hmm, so the story gets even more random as I come to check out who "Lis" is and here is Olivia posting about me. I am not sure about blogs but I thought they were supposed to be about the person writing them not me :-) I guess I am just that popular! Just kidding. Anyway, um yeah same Jessica... I assume this is Alissa Jones? Wow, what a small world we live in. Hi!
