I remember last year in the midst of the newness of the pandemic feeling so odd with Good Friday and Easter. There was none of what we had always done in the past. I remember journaling, “none of what is going on around us changes the tragic miracle of Good Friday and Easter.”
The same remains true today and I hope that your heart is tender to the season of Lent and the upcoming Good Friday and Easter even though this year we are pandemic fatigued.
I want to share two of my favorite songs that I listen to often in this season and will listen to daily in the days between now and Good Friday. What I like most is the naming of the horrific with the miracle. The tragedy and the hope. The death and the life.
I believe the lyrics say it all. May these songs be a part of your journey to the cross this year.
Blessed be His Name
