I had such a great Easter weekend! =D
Of cos, Easter service was so good!
I'm very proud of my production team!
Special thnks to Ben, Puaylin, Layling
(involved in the initial brainstorming session)
Steven, Jiancong, Aloy, Huitian
(completed the drawings, colouring, flash animations etc.)
and not forgetting GQ, who helped me with the paintings!
They're the unsung heroes behind the Easter Animation.
WHY
Music & Lyrics by Nicole Nordeman
We rode into town the other day
Just me and my Daddy
He said I'd finally reached that age
And I could ride next to him on a horse
That of course was not quite as wild
We heard a crowd of people shouting
And so we stopped to find out why
And there was that man
That my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes
So I said "Daddy, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?
I'll bet that crown hurts Him more than He shows
Daddy, please can't you do something?
He looks as though He's gonna cry
You said he was stronger than all of those guys
Daddy, please tell me why
Why does everyone want him to die?"
Later that day the sky grew cloudy
And Daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy
Boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds
To a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from the cross
And it said, "Father, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for My robe?
This crown of thorns hurts Me more than it shows
Father, please can't You do something?
I know that You must hear My cry
I thought I could handle the cross of this size
"My precious Son, I hear them screaming
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
But soon I will clothe You in robes of My own
Jesus, this hurts Me much more than You know
But this dark hour I must do nothing
Though I've heard your unbearable cries
The power in Your blood destroys all of the lies
Soon you'll see past their unmerciful lies
Look there below, see the child,
trembling by her father's side
Now I can tell you why...
she is why you must die."
And I was overwhelmed by God's love.
Oh heart of mine, why must you stray?
From one so fair you run away
And one more time you have to pay
The heaviness of needless shame
Oh heart of mine, come back home
You've been too long out on your own
And He's been there all along
Watching for you down the road
So come home running His arms are open wide
His name is Jesus He understands
He is the answer You are looking for
So come home running Just as you are
This Easter, my heart returned to God.
I wanna put my trust in Him again and start life afresh.
All that I am, all that I have
I lay them down before you, oh Lord
All my regrets, all my acclaims
The joy and the pain, I'm making them yours
Easter is the reason why I believe and live =)
