Waterfall

Waterfall - a new piece written for Mom (aka Mama Chris or just Chris) as she taught each one of us the meaning of redemption and forgiveness. Like water falls to the river, His love falls upon us. Like the river roars to the sea, His power carries us through each storm. Like the sea tumbles into the ocean, His grace surrounds us, lifts us up, cleanses, refreshes, renews, reunites us with the Father.
Mom reviewed the lyrics on Mother's Day 2017 and we finished it just before Christmas of that year. We had a few other bits of life going on at that time, so this little piece stayed in our minds for quite some time.

Your love like the water falls to the river
Your love like the river flows to the sea
Your love like the sea tumbles into the ocean
Your love like water; falls on me.

We sing Waterfall to honor our Lord. We sing Waterfall to put into place Mom's insistence that we forgive. Like water continually moves--seeking home, we must too move . . move forward, forgetting the past, forgiving wrongs, facing our failures and moving forward. Forward--like the river to the sea.  

"Forgetting what is behind and staining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3:14 (NIV)

Today we reflect on Good Friday and look toward Sunday; the Promise. As you ponder Christ's love poured out for you, like the water falls to the river, the river roars to the sea; the sea tumbles into the ocean. The love of our Lord, like water falls cleanses you. 

Please feel free to download and share the sheet music. A rehearsal mp3 is available for download to help you learn the simply melody. Please note, this is simply a rehearsal, rather than performance mp3. AND, don't worry, your speaker isn't broken; we purposely open/closed with the sound of water falling . . . to the river.

Fear not,
Alexander Paige

He Is Risen

He is risen.
As Easter Sunday draws near, we engage in reflection, grace, and humble gratitude for gift of our Savior, Christ Jesus. In our human effort to view Easter via human eyes, we often comment on an “early” or a “ late” Easter. There isn’t an early or a late; there just is.
Easter. He is risen.
If you want to get technical, Easter Sunday is the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox—which occurs around March 20th - 21st each year. Got it? Vernal equinox; then full moon; then first Sunday. Year over year; equinox, moon, Sunday. Our Father is constant.
Constant in love
Constant in grace
Constant in His promise
​Christ is risen

Among many, Easter is celebrated as a season rather than a Sunday. Many fast, reflect, or engage in deeper study and greater kindness in the 40 days prior to Easter Sunday, and continue in mediation and gratitude throughout the 50 days following. Perhaps we could seek to celebrate the gift of a risen Savior each day—making our lives a season of Easter.
Constant in love
Constant in grace
Constant in grace 
​Constant in His promise
​Christ is risen

Easter. Our new birth. The earth’s new birth.  Among the barren branches, we note beauty that soothes us and a newness that inspires us. 
As Solomon sang, "Flowers appear on the earth: the season of singing has come.” Song of Songs 2:11.
Sing of His love
​Sing of His grace
Sing of His promise

Christ is risen

Fear not,
