east to west

today i was listening to my songs on shuffle. and then this song came on.
good friday is today-a remembrance of one of the most brutal, horrible, sacrificing events in human history.
as i read the account of jesus' death today, i wondered how we can call this day good.


we can call it good
because without jesus' death, we wouldn't have life.
that is why it is good.

jesus can you show me just how far the east is from the west?
‘cause i can’t bear to see the man i’ve been
rising up in me again
in the arms of your mercy i find rest
‘cause you know just how far the east is from the west
from one scarred hand to the other

thank you for your un-repayable, beautiful gift of life, jesus.
