Last year, I did a video for Easter using appropriate Scriptures and a quote from Milton`s "Paradise Lost," set to the song "I`ve Always Loved You" by the Christian rock band Third Day.
Since I`d done that one (which is now lost), I thought that it made sense to make a video for this year. I planned to have it up on the actual day, but after all the picture-searching and such, it wasn`t till after midnight the day after Easter (today, the 9th) that I finished the vid. Oh well.
This time, the vid is to a song I came across on the CD "WOW Hits 2007" (part of the WOW series, a series of Christian music CD`s) called "What If," performed by Christian artist Nichole Nordeman. When I first heard it, I thought it would be perfect for this sort of vid.
All the verses come from the ESV, or English Standard Version, a Bible version that is really growing on me. The pics are from various sites and were found using Google Image Search. They include Matthew Grünewald`s famous "crucifixion scene" and Salvador Dalì`s version of "The Last Supper" (the "Last Supper" scene with the guy with raised arms in the sky in the background) among others.
Enjoy the vid, and happy (late) Easter.

I have never worked so hard to make a video so precise from clip to clip, but I`m so happy with the ending result. I really hope people enjoy the music and maybe from the lyrics, will be able to tell how I choose the order of clips. All these artist have such natural talent and are truly, really amazing.
Outside Looking In -- Jordan Pruitt
You don`t know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don`t know what it`s like
To be left out
And you don`t know how it feels
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
Beautiful -- Bethany Dillon
Crying myself to sleep cause I
cannot keep their attention
Sometimes I wish I was someone
Other than me
Fighting to make
The mirror happy
I want to be beautiful
Make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart,
and be amazed
I love to hear You say
Who I am is quite enough
You make me worthy of love
Beautiful
We -- Joy Williams
She`s independent and beautiful
Wish I could be like her
She`s got the girls and the boys
So wrapped around her finger
Rumor is she`s some kind of dream
Nobody knows she cries herself to sleep
We are not that different from each other
We just want somebody to discover
Who we really are when we drop our guard
That love has gotta start with you and me
We
Hide -- Joy Williams
To anyone who hides behind a smile
To anyone who holds their pain inside
To anyone who thinks they`re not good enough
To anyone who feels unworthy of love
To anyone who ever closed the door
Closed their eyes and locked themselves away
You don`t have to hide
You don`t have to hide anymore
You don`t have to face this on your own
You don`t have to hide anymore
God Only Knows -- Joy Williams
You`re in one of those seasons
Everything seems to go so wrong
Wish I could give you a reason
But even I`m barely holding on
When it`s hard to find the answers
Let this be your hope
God only knows all your broken pieces
Only He knows what you`re going through
God only knows what you hide inside
And He`s holding onto you
God only knows
Unchangeable --ZOEgirl (Alisa Childers)
You said You`d never leave
You said You`d never forsake me
A faith that`s unshakeable
A heart that`s unbreakable
Your truth that has set me free
A love that`s unchangeable
A life that`s available
If I would just believed
More -- Matthew West
Take a look at the mountains
Stretching a mile high
Take a look at the ocean
Far as your eye can see
And think of Me
Take a look at the desert
Do you feel like a grain of sand?
I am with you wherever
Where you go is where I am
I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow, I`ll say it again and again
I love you more
Surrender -- Joy Williams
There are places in my heart
And corners of my mind
That I`ve hidden from Your light
Like buried treasure deep inside of me
I don`t want You to see
I keep it to myself
But You give Your love to me
You open up Your heart unselfishly
Lord, in Your embrace now I can say
I surrender
Everything I held so precious
Everything I kept away
I give it up, give it up
All for You, I give it all for You
Everything I held as treasure
I give it all for You
I give it all for You
Holy -- Nichole Nordeman
Only me on my knees
Singing holy, holy
And somehow all that matters now is
You are holy, holy
I highly recommend buying "Genesis" or "Every Moment—The Best of Joy Williams." "Genesis" is my all-time favorite album and Joy William`s songs are all pretty much really amazing.
Mail me any questions or comments. I love to hear from random people of the world wide web! =)
