EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE

 

In The Garden

I come to the garden alone / While the dew is still on the roses / And the voice I hear falling on my ear / The Son of God discloses

And He walks with me, and He talks with me / And He tells me I am His own / And the joy we share as we tarry there / None other has ever known

He speaks, and the sound of His voice / Is so sweet the birds hush their singing / And the melody that He gave to me / Within my heart is ringing

I’d stay in the garden with Him / Tho’ the night around me be falling / But He bids me go; thro’ the voice of woe / His voice to me is calling

 

Christ The Lord Is Risen Today

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia! / Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia! / Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! / Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!

Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia! / Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia! / Death in vain forbids him rise, Alleluia! / Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia! / Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia! / Dying once He all doth save, Alleluia! / Where thy victory, O,  grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia! / Following our exalted Head, Alleluia! / Made like him, like him we rise, Alleluia! / Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

 

King of Kings

In the darkness we were waiting / Without hope without light / ‘Til from Heaven You came running / There was mercy in Your eyes / To fulfill the law and prophets / To a virgin came the Word / From a throne of endless glory / To a cradle in the dirt

Praise the Father, Praise the Son / Praise the Spirit three in one / God of Glory, Majesty / Praise forever to the King of Kings

To reveal the kingdom coming / And to reconcile the lost / To redeem the whole creation / You did not despise the cross / For even in Your suffering / You saw to the other side / Knowing this was our salvation / Jesus for our sake You died

And the morning that You rose / All of heaven held its breath / ‘Til that stone was moved for good / For the Lamb had conquered death / And the dead rose from their tombs / And the angels stood in awe / For the souls of all who’d come

To the Father are restored / And the Church of Christ was born / Then the Spirit lit the flame / Now this Gospel truth of old / Shall not kneel shall not faint / By His blood and in His Name

In His freedom I am free / For the love of Jesus Christ / Who has resurrected me

 

What A Beautiful Name

You were the Word at the beginning / One With God, the Lord Most High / Your hidden glory in creation / Now revealed in You, our Christ

What a beautiful name it is / What a beautiful name it is / The name of Jesus Christ, my King / What a beautiful name it is / Nothing compares to this / What a beautiful name it is / The name of Jesus

You didn’t want heaven without us / So Jesus, You brought heaven down / My sin was great, Your love was greater / What could separate us now? /

What a wonderful name it is / What a wonderful name it is / The name of Jesus Christ, my King / What a wonderful name it is / Nothing compares to this / What a wonderful name it is / The name of Jesus / What a wonderful name it is / The name of Jesus

Death could not hold You, the veil tore before You / You silenced the boast of sin and grave / The heavens are roaring, the praise of Your glory / For You are raised to life again / You have no rival, You have no equal / Now and forever, God, You reign / Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the glory / Yours is the name, above all names

What a powerful name it is / What a powerful name it is / The name of Jesus Christ, my King / What a powerful name it is / Nothing can stand against / What a powerful name it is / The name of Jesus

 

 

EASTER CREED

I believe in the God of Easter morning
Who awakes us from our darkest dreams
And leads us into the light of a new day;
Who meets our pessimism
With stunning hope of angelic proclamation.

I believe in the God of Easter Day
Who beats us to the obstacles in our lives
And empties the dark tomb for us;
Who appears in surprising ways
When we least expect it; walking with us on our detour.

I believe in the God of Easter evening
Who breaks into our closets and prisons,
Bringing peace and crushing our fear.
I believe in the risen Lord who meets us with wounds on his hands and feet;
Who grants us his spirit, sending us out
To bring Shalom to the world as OUR REDEEMER.
