Easter Song

I was supposed to sing at church, so my mom told me to sing an Easter song, because it was the week before Easter, and our church was doing a Cantata. I of course thought this was a good idea, and immediately set out to find a song that fit the category of "Easter Song."

But then, I started thinking.

EVERY SONG IS AN EASTER SONG.

Think about it, during the Easter season we as Christians celebrate the resurrection of our Savior and Lord after He had died for our sins on the cross. We are called to remember the magnitude of the love displayed for us on that day, and are thankful for the stone being rolled away on Easter Sunday.

But why isn't that what we do every day? Why should it be different? Shouldn't we remember the love of our Savior everyday? Shouldn't we try to understand the love only our Father could show for us? Why does it have to be labeled as an "Easter Song?" Why can't it just be a  "Jesus Song" and sung every day? That's what I believe anyway.

So I sang an Easter song, but it wasn't one that was in the list of  "Easter Songs" Google spit back at me from my quick search. It was instead one that I felt was a testament to God's power and grace. And, of course, it was totally  a God moment, because only He would give me the gift of singing and allow me to sing a song that is glorifying Him. Yeah, it was Easter, but it was just a "Jesus song." I was simply praising my father, as we should do every day.

And so it goes...
