You did that for me

As Easter approaches, I wanted to share the song below. I LOVE Sara Groves and believe she is a wonderful song writer. Her lyrics are quite therapeutic! I have had such a great couple of days, really. Being a teacher does have its perks, like a 5 day break for Easter! During my break I have: treated myself to a mani & pedi, shopped, gone to a movie with some of my students and favorite kiddos, visited with my oldest pal, Lindsay, gone to a rockin' concert with Kristen, cooked, cleaned and I still have TWO more days of break! Gone are the days of moping around, staying on the couch, and crying all day. Am I still sad, sure, but it really is getting easier and I never thought it would. Thank you GOD for healing, for the promise of our future, for everything.

Sara Groves: You Did That For Me lyrics
To listen to this song, on the title above on music player at the bottom of the screen.
I don't have to cry anymore
I don't have to worry about what's in store
I've walked that road exhausted and poor
I don't have to cry anymore
And I don't have to know it all
I don't have to be so proud and stand so tall
I climbed that mountain only to fall
I don't have to know it all
You did that for me
Oh, you did that for me
You wore the chains so I could be free
Yeah, yeah
You did that for me
And I don't have to be ashamed
Hang my head or shoulder the blame
Wondering if my life's been in vain
I don't have to be ashamed
Oh, you did that for me
Oh, you did that for me
You wore the chains so I could be free
Yeah, yeah
You did that for me
Man of sorrows
Well acquainted with grief
Drug down to the city dump
Spread eagle on a cross beam
Propped up like a scarecrow
Nailed like a thief
There for all the world to see
You wore the chains so I could be free
Yeah, yeah
Oh Lord, you did that for me
Oh Lord, you did that for me, You wore the chains so I could be free
