Song Lyrics
For Sunday, April 20
Because He Lives
God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove
My Savior lives
Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy He gives
But greater still, the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
Because Christ lives
And then one day I’ll cross the river
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain
And then as death gives way to vic’try
I’ll see the lights of glory and
I’ll know He reigns
Indescribable
From the highest of heights
To the depths of the sea
Creation’s revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall
To the fragrance of spring
Ev’ry creature unique
In the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Chorus
Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing, God
All powerful, untamable
Awestruck, we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing, God
Who has told every lightning bolt
Where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses
Laden with snow
Who imagined the sun
And gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us
The coolness of night
None can fathom
Tag
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart
And You love me the same
You are amazing, God
You are amazing, God
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
Chorus 1
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
Chorus 2
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
Bridge 1
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
Bridge 2
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
Chorus 3
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
King of Kings
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope, without light
Till 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
Chorus
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
Till 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
Sermon: He Is Risen
Bible Passage: Luke 24:1-12 (clicking on the verse will take you to the Bible passage)
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
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
