amazing grace, how sweet the sound

one of my favorite sites to visit is called The Big Picture. i go and look at the amazing photos on the site (mostly shots done by photojournalists) and am always amazed that so much beauty can be in one photograph. 

this week's photos were centered around Easter, 2009. here are some that i found amazing.

I will not boast in anything,

no gifts, no power, no wisdom.

But I will boast in Jesus Christ,

His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer.

But this I know with all my heart,

His wounds have paid my ransom.
