Easter Undoes What We Have Become

My friend sent me one of those emails with 20 questions you are supposed to answer and then return to them ~ I never ever fill those out ~ who has the time? However, since this came from a dear friend from the city where I used to live, I figured I'd send it back to say "hi".

A couple of the questions really struck me ~ here are a few, along with my answers....

* IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Wow ~ I think so.....I hope so, but not sure
* DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? No ~ wish I had more inner strength to be more to more people
* WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOU? Physical ~ my weight and Spiritual ~ that I fail Him so often
* WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Yesterday as I watched a video clip on my brother's blog with the passion of the Christ scenes ~ He did that for ME!

As Easter nears, I am finding myself in such humble awe that He would go to the cross for me. The one who fails Him daily....The one who will never seem to get "it" right ~ and, I have lots of "its"....The one who is quick to snap at my son as he still forgets how to find the perimeter of a rectangle, yet is slow to snap at myself for letting that certain sin slip in, again.... The one who in no way deserved the sacrifice of the Perfect Lamb.

Yet, everytime, as I again sit at His feet in complete surrender of my will and asking for forgiveness, He just holds me, loves me and sets me on my way again. Now, That's MY King!!

As Undo, from Rush of Fools, just played, I turned it up really loud (sorry to the neighbors) and had a few moments of worship
for a King...
who would become nothing...
for a woman...
who is nothing...
so she can become...
His Bride.

Because of Easter, He can and does undo what I have become!

Happy He Is Risen Easter to you all, and, be sure to know, and believe, that He suffered through Good Friday so YOU can have an Easter!

Undo lyrics by Rush of Fools
See the Undo video

I've been here before, now here I am again
Standing at the door, praying
You'll let me back in
To label me a prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

(Chorus)
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You’re the only one who can undo
What I've become

I focused on the score, but I could never win
Trying to ignore, a life of hiding my sin
To label me a hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

(Chorus)
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You’re the only one who can undo
What I've become

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You

(Chorus)
Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You’re the only one who can undo
What I've become

I was once very close to God, but as years passed I grew very cold and far from him. I go to church every Sunday, but this Sunday was special my preacher had talked about worship and it really touched me. On my way home I was praying asking God to change me because I knew I couldn't do it on my own. This song started playing on the radio, and I just started weeping. I feel like your song describes my struggles and my thoughts it's very inspiring. Bless you!
