Have you ever been driving down the road and a song hits you and makes you think? Today I have been really concentrating and working on different stuff for the Easter program at church, so while driving down the road a song came on that really hit me. It's by Citizen Way and here is the chorus....
It should've been me
It should've been us
Should've been there hanging on a cross
All of this shame
All of these scars
Should've been stains that were never washed
Why do I hide
Why do you try
Over and over and over again
I guess it just leaves saying thank God
It leaves me saying thank God, thank God
For the should've been
What a song! It doesn't beat around the bush. It doesn't tell us what we want to hear. It says the truth. If you think about it, it should have been us. It is our sins that he died for, right? We are the ones that lie, steal, murder etc etc. Why should he die for us? Why did Adam and Eve sin by not obeying what they were told to do? We should be the ones that were beaten and had to carry the cross while being ridiculed. We should have been the ones hanging there on the hill. Why did God send his only son to die for the sins that we commit? It brings so many questions to my mind. But in the end I agree with Citizens Way and it leaves me saying thank God for what should have been. The fact is though God loved us so much that he did send his only son to die for us. He washed all our sins away. He loves us more than any of us can ever imagine. This Easter I hope we all remember why we really celebrate the holiday. It is fun to color eggs and do a hunt with the kids but we are there to celebrate what Jesus did for us so long ago. He washed away all our sins but then rose again!!! What a thought for the day!
