Song Lyrics

For Sunday, April 5

 

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!
Once He died, our souls to save, alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led, alleluia!
Foll’wing our exalted Head, alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, alleluia!

 

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All-in-All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

 

Behold Our God

Who has held the oceans in His hand?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice
All creation rises to rejoice

Chorus
Behold our God, seated on His throne
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King, nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him

Who has given counsel to the Lord?
Who can question any of His words?
Who can teach the One who knows all things?
Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?

Who has felt the nails upon His hands
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man?
God eternal, humbled to the grave
Jesus, Savior, risen now to reign

Bridge
You will reign forever (let Your glory fill the earth)
You will reign forever (let Your glory fill the earth)
You will reign forever (let Your glory fill the earth)
You will reign forever (let Your glory fill the earth)

 

He Who Is to Come

There is a day coming
When the old will pass away
Ev’ry wrong will be made right
No darkness, no night
The sun will light the way

There is a King coming
The one who conquered death and grave
No more pain and no more sorrow
This hope for tomorrow
Is our hope for today

Pre-Chorus
He who was, He who is
He who was, He who is

Chorus
He who is to come
Christ, the Son of man
Riding on the clouds
With a crown upon His head
Ev’ry eye will see Him
With the nail scars in His hands
Hallelujah, hallelujah

There’s only one worthy
Of all glory and all praise
All wealth and honor
Speak wisdom and power
To the Lamb that was slain

He is surely coming
O, can you feel it too?
All this tension growing stronger
Is just a sign He’s getting closer
He’s already on the move

Yeah, the story has been written
We all know how it ends
My future has an anchor
My eyes are on the Savior
O, He’s coming back again
Yeah, He’s coming back again

 

The Power of the Cross

O, to see the dawn of the darkest day
Christ on the road to Calvary
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood

Chorus 1
This the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross

O, to see the pain written on Your face
Bearing the awesome weight of sin
Ev’ry bitter thought, ev’ry evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow

Now the daylight flees, now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head
Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life
“Finished!” the vict’ry cry

O, to see my name written in the wounds
For through Your suff’ring I am free
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live
Won through Your selfless love

Chorus 2
This the pow’r of the cross
Son of God, slain for us
What a love, what a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross

Is He Worthy?

Do you feel the world is broken?
We do
Do you feel the shadows deepen?
We do
But do you know that all the dark won’t stop
The light from getting through?
We do
Do you wish that you could see it all made new?
We do

Is all creation groaning?
It is
Is a new creation coming?
It is
Is the glory of the Lord to be
The light within our midst?
It is
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this?
It is

Chorus 1
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal
And open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah
Who conquered the grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb who died
To ransom the slave
Is He worthy? Is He worthy
Of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy of this?
He is

Does the Father truly love us?
He does
Does the Spirit move among us?
He does
And does Jesus, our Messiah, hold
Forever those He loves?
He does
Does our God intend to dwell again with us?
He does

Chorus 2
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal
And open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah
Who conquered the grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb who died
To ransom the slave
From ev’ry people and tribe
Ev’ry nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God
To reign with the Son
Is He worthy? Is He worthy
Of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this?
He is

 

Great Are You Lord

You give life, You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope, You restore
Ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are You Lord

Chorus
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only 

Bridge
And all the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are You, Lord

 

Benediction: 1 Peter 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
