I was two weeks old when my parents dedicated my life to the Lord. Obviously I don't remember much about the day (okay, anything), but I did have an awfully cute dress to wear.
I've always loved that song, and I'm sure its' in part because I know it was part of a day that set me apart for the Lord, even though I don't remember the day.
And on this Easter Sunday, I am reminded of that song and how it so beautifully represents what Jesus did on this day so many years ago.
He lived and died to buy my pardon...An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!
I'm so very grateful He chose to live and die to buy my pardon, and on THIS day, I am grateful for that empty grave.
Part of the verse of this song used at my dedication says But greater still the calm assurance, this child can face uncertain days because He lives!
I've hung onto those very phrases through multiple seasons of my life. It's true for me and it's true for you, too!
Happy Easter, my friends! So thankful to celebrate a risen Savior today and all that we can enjoy because He lives!

You were adorable!! What a great post for Easter. Have a blessed day!
Happy Easter! I think I will go and listen to Because He Lives. I love that hymn. Have a wonderful day!!
My dedication also happened when I was about two weeks old. At our church dedications always happened on Mother's Day and that year, I happened to be born shortly before it. I will have to look at the bulletin to see what songs were sung. I love that you have so much information about your baby dedication day.
