With Easter quickly approaching, we\u2019ve been watching more and more television programs about Jesus and His life. While I can\u2019t say that I agree with everything I hear in these programs, I do like that my television hours are focused more on Jesus and that His Name is being spoken for millions of people to hear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Music\"<\/a>Again, with Easter quickly approaching, my heart and mind turn more often than not to the events of Jesus\u2019 final week on earth as a human. It was probably an emotional roller coaster week for all involved, including our Lord and Savior.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Celebrations. Reflections. Joy. Grief. Professed allegiance. Denial. Honor. Laughter. Tears. Betrayal. Pain. Amazement. Surprise. Anger. Fear. Singing. Rejoicing. I\u2019m sure there were plenty more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And again, with Easter quickly approaching, let\u2019s not take for granted what Jesus went through so that we might know Him in a personal way. His blood and sacrifice made a way for us to be cleansed of our sin. And with the cleansing of our sins, we have the opportunity to become more like Jesus.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Friend, let\u2019s not waste a single moment living the way we used to live. Because of the cross and Jesus\u2019 resurrection, we are able to live holy lives. With just one drop of Jesus\u2019 blood, we are able to reflect Jesus\u2019 face and His glory. What an amazing God we have!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today I share a medley of \u201cWash My Sins Away\u201d and \u201cMake Us Holy.\u201d Each one leads us to the cross and the transforming power we find in Jesus. I pray that you will allow the blood of Jesus to wash away the grit and grime of your life and then, allow God\u2019s Spirit to make the change so that others may see Jesus in us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWash My Sins Away\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have brought to You a contrite heart<\/p>\n

I do not want my sin to separate me from You<\/p>\n

So I kneel at the cross where Your blood was shed<\/p>\n

Let it wash all over me<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/p>\n

Let it wash<\/p>\n

Let it wash<\/p>\n

Let it wash my sins away<\/p>\n

Just one drop, one precious drop<\/p>\n

Will wash my sins away<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have brought to You a broken heart<\/p>\n

I do not want my sin to separate me from You<\/p>\n

So I kneel at the cross where Your blood was shed<\/p>\n

Let it wash all over me<\/p>\n

(Chorus)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMake Us Holy\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make us holy and pure<\/p>\n

To be reflect Your face and Your glory<\/p>\n

May our lives be wholly Yours<\/p>\n

So we bring glory to Your name<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We surrender to Your grace<\/p>\n

Hearts that are willing to be changed<\/p>\n

So the world will behold You<\/p>\n

In our lives[i]<\/a><\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n
