March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

4-8-12 Christ Arose

(Hymns of Zion #205)

Low in the grave He lay – Jesus my Saviour!

Waiting the coming day – Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose, (He arose!)

With a mighty triumph o’er His foes; (He arose!)

He arose a Victor from the dark domain,

And He lives forever with His saints to reign.

He arose! (He arose!)

He arose! (He arose!)

Hallelujah!

Christ arose!

Vainly they watch His bed – Jesus my Saviour!

Vainly they seal the dead – Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose, (He arose!)

With a mighty triumph o’er His foes; (He arose!)

He arose a Victor from the dark domain,

And He lives forever with His saints to reign.

He arose! (He arose!)

He arose! (He arose!)

Hallelujah!

Christ arose!

Death cannot keep his prey – Jesus my Saviour!

He tore the bars away – Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose, (He arose!)

With a mighty triumph o’er His foes; (He arose!)

He arose a Victor from the dark domain,

And He lives forever with His saints to reign.

He arose! (He arose!)

He arose! (He arose!)

Hallelujah!

Christ arose!
