Story behind the song
This song was originally written for an Easter Morning Service. The pastor was speaking on the great "ripple-effect" of grace that came from Christ dying on the cross, and was ephasizing how Easter should be a much bigger celebration than we make it out to be. It was a bit slower originally, sort of like a tune for the EverReady Bunny ad. But, when we went to use it on my CD, we revamped it and sped it up and brought sort of a rock/brass feel to it; while still keeping the overall acoustic flavor. Then for fun, all the singers on this song did some crazy fun stuff in the intro, to give it a "party" feel....
Lyrics
Time for a Celebration All you heavenly seekers in a world full of pain God gave us ability to see the sun through the rain Though the clouds hang over us Dancin’s still the thing to do Beyond the doubts of dark despair Jesus’ love will shine on through Chorus: There’s a time for a celebration There’s a place in our hearts that’s made to give praise There’s a time for a celebration Let’s delight in the feast, may joy be increased As we celebrate People are always exploring for greater lands to roam The Father’s kingdom is standing tall But they don’t see; they don’t know Jesus chose to come to earth to grow into a perfect man But He also welcomed those guilty nails So we can be born again Repeat Chorus: Bridge: Keep the focus on Who deserves the praise For His generous works of love Nothing stands against His mighty grace As the world trys to steal your soul Remember Who is in control Repeat Chorus: (twice) Copyright©1999 by Marty Miller
