There have been some outstanding musicians and vocalists who have devoted their lives to presenting the Gospel in musical form. To these musicians I am grateful. I am able to worship God is such a blessed way because of their love of God and talents.

Today’s melody was heard as a duet between Sandi Patty and Larnelle Harris. And it doesn’t get more powerful than these two singing about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Recounting the moments when Jesus’ beloved disciples realized He was dead as well as the miraculous moment they knew He was alive again. It’s simply exhilarating to listen to this song.

“I’ve Just Seen Jesus” has been around awhile, but the message is ageless. For us today, the message is the same. When we really see Jesus, our lives will never be the same.

So today, I encourage you to listen to the song first. You can do so by clicking here. Then read through the words. Yes, when we allow these words and Jesus to penetrate our hearts, nothing else matters except Him. I pray that you believe it and live it.

“I’ve Just Seen Jesus”

We knew he was dead
“It is finished,” he said
We had watched as his life ebbed away
Then we all stood around
Till the guards took him down
Joseph begged for his body that day

It was late afternoon
When we got to the tomb
Wrapped his body and sealed up the grave
So I know how you feel
His death was so real
But please listen and hear what I say

I’ve just seen Jesus
I tell you he’s alive
I’ve just seen Jesus
Our precious Lord alive
And I knew, he really saw me too
As if till now, I’d never lived
All that I’d done before
Won’t matter anymore
I’ve just seen Jesus
And I’ll never be the same again

It was his voice she first heard
Those kind gentle words
Asking what was her reason for tears
And I sobbed in despair
My Lord is not there
He said, “Child! It is I, I am here!”

I’ve just seen Jesus
I tell you he’s alive
I’ve just seen Jesus
Our precious lord alive
And I knew, he really saw me too
As if till now, I’d never lived
All that I’d done before
Won’t matter anymore
I’ve just seen Jesus
I’ve just seen Jesus
I’ve just seen Jesus
All that I’d done before
Won’t matter anymore
I’ve just seen Jesus
And I’ll never be the same again
I’ve just seen Jesus![i]

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Donna
