As Easter approaches Our thoughts turn to our Savior, Jesus Christ. There was a beautiful song that Mom performed a solo of in Church today, which highlights this message.
Gethsemane lay still and dark
Creation watched in silent awe
As Jesus suffered his Father's will
To satisfy unyielding law
He knelt in earnest prayer alone
His friends, o'ercome with sorrow, slept
Beneath the burden of grief he groaned
Beneath the weight of sin he wept
And with his blood so freely spent
He bought my soul; he paid my debt
What work of love was wrought for me
In the stillness of Gethsemane
"This bitter cup wilt thou remove?
Yet not my will, but thine be done."
Behold his anguish and weep anew
For love of Christ, the sinless one
With his wounds my own are healed
My every pain o'ercome in his
My shame, my weakness, my grief untold
Find ransom in his priceless gift
For with his blood so freely spent
He bought my soul; he paid my debt
What work of love was wrought for me
In the stillness of Gethsemane
Here is a link to someone singing it:

Jesus suffered for our pains, our sorrows, our weaknesses, our physical and mental trials, and in short is respite for all those that seek him. We know this to be true and have felt His comfort in our lives. If you haven't, please seek Him. This life is too hard to go at alone.
That is our Easter message, and here is a video that we feel carries this across well:

Please take some time to remember the meaning of Easter.
We're singing that exact song (except with the choir) next Sunday! It is a very powerful song. I like it!
