This song by John Mark McMillan is my jam. I got that album right before Mom died and I couldn't stop listening to it for months after that, especially this song. It talks about how Jesus has conquered the grave and yea we all know that. But seriously. We deserve far worse than what we have waiting for us and I don't think about that enough. I don't think about how I don't belong here, how I'll never ever be satisfied here, how Jesus willingly died so that I'd eternally get to hang out with Him. I feel like those "first" holidays and events without Mom just keep coming. We went to the lake without her today for the first time and it's Mother's Day in a couple of weeks. I feel like it doesn't end sometimes, but that's ok, eternity will make up for it.
"On Friday a thief
On Sunday a King
Laid down in grief
But awoke holding keys
Of Hell on that day
The first born of the slain
The Man Jesus Christ
Laid death in his grave."-JMM
