The stone at the tomb of Jesus
was a pebble to the
ROCK of Ages inside.
Frederick Beck
Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection,
not in books alone but in every leaf in springtime.

PURE
PURE
This is my brand new day starting now
I let go the things that weigh me down
And rob me of the beauty
That's to be found in life all around
And this is my prayer without ceasing
The negative releasing
And as I rise above my burden is easing
I bring the pure flow like water around
The rocks of life won't pull me down
I bring the pure flow drink so deep
The river of life my soul at ease
I bring the pure flow of water around
The rocks of life won't pull me down
I bring the pure flow rising above
The storms of life to live and love
This is my brand new day in the light
Troubles rising up on the left and the right
I keep my eyes fixed on where I want to go
The rest will follow
This is my brand new day starting now
Letting go of the ways that I fall down
The old can be made new the lost can be found
The lost will be found
My soul is at ease and I am free
My soul is at ease and I am free
This is my day
My soul is at ease and I am free
I am free
DIGGING DEEPER
These are the days of purification
and separation [from all that is apart from Me]
in the lives of all those who truly love Me -
a purification and separation [unto Me]
that will prepare them perfectly for the glorious days that lay just ahead.
...."And the clean person
shall sprinkle [the water for purification]
upon the unclean person on the third day
and on the seventh day, and on the seventh day
the unclean man shall purify himself, and wash his clothes
and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at evening.
But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself,
that person shall be cut off from among the congregation,
because he has defiled the sanctuary of the Lord.
The water for purificationhas not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean"....
Numbers 19:19-20 The Amplified Translation
...."Behold, I am going to send My messenger,
and he will clear the way before Me.
And the Lord, whom you seek,
will suddenly come to His temple;
and the messenger of the covenant,
in whom you delight, behold,
He is coming, says the LORD of hosts.
But who can endure the day of His coming?
And who can stand when He appears?
For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap.
"He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver,
and He will purify the sons of Levi
and refine them like gold and silver,
so that they may present to the LORD
offerings in righteousness"....
Malachi 3:1-3 NASB
...."For the grace of God
[His unmerited favor and blessing]
has come forward [appeared] for the deliverance from sin
and the eternal salvation for all mankind.
It has trained us to reject
and renounce all ungodliness [irreligion]
and worldly [passionate] desires,
to live discreet [temperate, self-controlled],
upright, devout [spiritually whole] lives in this present world,
Awaiting and looking for the
[fulfillment, the realization of our] blessed hope,
even the glorious appearing of our
great God and Savior Christ Jesus
[the Messiah, the Anointed One],
Who gave Himself on our behalf that
He might redeem us [purchase our freedom]
from all iniquity and purify for Himself a people
[to be peculiarly His own, people who are]
eager and enthusiastic about
[living a life that is good and filled with]
beneficial [righteous]deeds...
[Deut. 14:2; Ps. 130:8; Ezek. 37:23]".... Titus 2:11-14]
