Dear friends,

The play is ready for you to review, along with a new song that Dan Zigler
and I wrote called "I Am The Resurrection".  This is the song Jesus sings
to his disciples after the Resurrection and we wrote it specifically for
the play.

First, here is the address of our play... "Resurrection Song":

     http://songsofpraise.org/easter.htm

Russell Adams, Larry Holder, Steve Israel, Joe Medrek, Rhesa Siregar, Dan
Zigler and I have all had some part in writing this.  The scenes and
dialog were created mostly by Dan and Joe.  You will recognize some of the
music as coming from "Songs of Praise", but there are several other songs
that you may not recognize.  Take the links and explore the music.

Here is the address and lyrics for the new song:

===================================

"I Am The Resurrection"

(Verse 1)
I rose up in the morning
To glory bright.
The chains of death are broken
I am alive!
Reach out your hand and touch me
For I am real.
I come to give you comfort
And I can save you:

(Chorus)
For I am the Resurrection,
The Resurrection and the Life.
I have returned to you.
Yes, I am the Resurrection,
That reaches through the darkest night.
Go tell the world the news.

(Verse 2)
Fear not this mortal body
This earthly grave.
I know the very nature
Of all that's made.
I go to meet my Father
And to prepare
A home for you in heaven,
Please come and join me:

(Repeat Chorus)

(Ending)
Yes, I am the Resurrection.
Yes, I am the Resurrection.
Oh, I am the Resurrection.
The Resurrection and the Life,
The Resurrection and the Life.

I am working on the CD for the play.  It will be ready in a few days. We
will also post files that you can download and print very soon.

Yours in Christ,
