Happy Easter to you all, I wish you a blessed Easter weekend. Or as my Sunday School teacher used to say-Happy First Fruits!!! (miss ya Cecil)
I just wanted to share a video with you of a song that is about when Christ died for us. As so many videos do these days, the backdrop is from the movie "Passion". I often wonder if Mel Gibson had any idea just how much that movie would be used, even in a small way such as you tube. How awesome is that!!!!
Anway, the song is "Via Dolorosa"-made famous by Sandi Patti. But it was made famous to me by Ron Whittle (my dad). I remember he used to sing this in church when I was younger. The song makes me think of my Heavenly father and my earthly father, what a combined blessing!! I wonder if my dad is singing it this weekend?
Enjoy the video, I have included the lyrics. If you do not have a church home, please check out www.lifechurch.tv for thier online Easter services-starting Sat night and again on Sunday morning.

"Via Dolorosa"
Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed in to see
The Man condemned to die on Calvary
He was bleeding from a beating, there were stripes upon His back
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head
And He bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out for His death
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King,
But He chose to walk that road out of
His love for you and me.
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.
Por la Via Dolorosa, triste dia en Jerusalem
Los saldados le abrian paso a Jesus
Mas la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz
Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via del dolor
Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey, Senor
Y fue El quien quiso ir por su amor por ti y por mi
Por la Via Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way through the heart of Jerusalem.
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.
