Two years... I love you, Mom - Sunday March 18, 2007

4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions it is by grace you have been saved. ~Ephesians 2:4-5

---

Because it was Your love
that made me alive
Because of Your love, O God
that made me alive
When I was dead on the inside
Because of Your love and grace
I am alive now

There's a new kind of light
that's shining through me
My heart, once heavy and full of shame
Now light and pure

I do not understand how I, least of all
Could deserve such love so wonderful
And yet You love me despite what I've done

Because of Your love, O God
And because of Your love
I will sing, I will praise
For it was Your love that made me alive
For it was Your grace that set me free

I've forgotten what I once was,
Now I know who I am in You, O God
Who I am now is because of Your love.

~Emily Hrimnak

P.S. Tomorrow is the twenty-four month anniversary of my mother's passing, however I don't choose to think it as the second year anniversary of her death but rather as her resurrection in Christ, because I know she is alive and well and in a far better place. So tomorrow I will celebrate because she is with Jesus Christ! I love you, Mom, and I know that one day I will meet you on that beautiful shore besides the river of life where you're waiting for me at the Gate of God's City. Until then, FAE.
