Scripture
"But God demonstrates his
own love for us in this:
while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us."
Prayer
O Lord, in your great
mercy,
keep
us
from
forgetting
what
you
have
suffered
for
us
in
body
and
soul.
May
we
never
be
drawn
by
the
cares
of
this
life
from
Jesus
our
Friend
and
Saviour,
but
daily
may
live
nearer
to
his
cross.
Captain Hedley Vicars,
killed in action at Sebastopol

Even as Easter time draws near,
Along with it's hope and songs of cheer,
I see the Cross, with arms stretched wide,
On which our Saviour bled and died.
It grieves my heart how He suffered there,
In agony beyond compare,
Despised, rejected and spit upon,
Our Precious Lord, God's only Son.
It is a debt, we can't repay,
That for our sins, He died this way,
May we seek each day, to work for Him,
And never let our lights grow dim.
