"Christ the Lord Is Risen Today" (with "O Praise the Name")

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

He is not dead, He is alive

We have this hope, in Jesus Christ

Chorus

O praise the name of the Lord our God

O praise His name forevermore

For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord, Oh Lord our God

Verse 3

Then on the third at break of dawn

The Son of heaven rose again

O trampled death, where is your sting

The angels roar for Christ the King

Verse 4

He shall return in robes of white

The blazing Son shall pierce the night

And I will rise among the saints

My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face

Pastoral Prayer and Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

"Cornerstone"

Verse 1

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

But wholly trust in Jesus’ name

Chorus

Christ alone, Cornerstone

Weak made strong in the Savior’s love

Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord of all

Verse 2

When darkness seems to hide His face

I rest on His unchanging grace

In every high and stormy gale

My anchor holds within the veil

Verse 3

When He shall come with trumpet sound

Oh may I then in Him be found

Dressed in His righteousness alone

Faultless stand before the throne

Sermon - "Not Your Garden Variety Rabbi” (Rev. Tom Palmer, Senior Pastor)

John 20:1-18 (NRSV)

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.’ Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went towards the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes.

But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet.They said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ She said to them, ‘They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.’When she had said this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? For whom are you looking?’ Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, ‘Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Mary!’ She turned and said to him in Hebrew, ‘Rabbouni!’ (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, ‘Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.” ’ Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord’; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

"Thank You Jesus for the Blood"

Verse 1

I was a wretch, I remember who I was

I was lost, I was blind

I was running out of time

Sin separated, the breach was far too wide

But from the far side of the chasm

You held me in Your sight

Verse 2

So You made a way across the great divide

Left behind Heaven’s throne

To build it here inside

And there at the cross,

You paid the debt I owed

Broke my chains, freed my soul

For the first time I had hope

Chorus

Thank You Jesus, for the blood applied

Thank You Jesus, it has washed me white

Thank You Jesus, You have saved my life

Brought me from the darkness

Into glorious light

Verse 3

You took my place,

Laid inside my tomb of sin

You were buried for three days

But then You walked right out again

And now death has no sting and life has no end

For I have been transformed

By the blood of the Lamb

Bridge

There is nothing stronger

Than the wonder working power

Of the blood, the blood

That calls us sons and daughters

We are ransomed by our Father

Through the blood, the blood

Benediction

"Living Hope"

Verse 1

How great the chasm that lay between us

How high the mountain I could not climb

In desperation, I turned to heaven

And spoke Your name into the night

Then through the darkness

Your loving kindness

Tore through the shadows of my soul

The work is finished, the end is written

Jesus Christ, my living hope

Verse 2

Who could imagine so great a mercy

What heart could fathom such boundless grace

The God of ages stepped down from glory

To wear my sin and bear my shame

The cross has spoken, I am forgiven

The King of Kings calls me His own

Beautiful Savior, I’m Yours forever

Jesus Christ, my living hope

Chorus

Hallelujah

Praise the One who set me free

Hallelujah

Death has lost its grip on me

You have broken every chain

There’s salvation in Your name

Jesus Christ, my living hope

Verse 3

Then came the morning that sealed the promise

Your buried body began to breathe

Out of the silence, the roaring Lion

Declared the grave has no claim on me

Then came the morning that sealed the promise

Your buried body began to breathe

Out of the silence, the roaring Lion

Declared the grave has no claim on me

Jesus, Yours is the victory

"O Praise the Name"

Verse 1

I cast my mind to Calvary

Where Jesus bled and died for me

I see His wounds, His hands His feet

My Savior on that cursed tree

Verse 2

His body bound and drenched in tears

They laid Him down in Joseph’s tomb

The entrance sealed by heavy stone

Messiah still and all alone

Chorus

O praise the name of the Lord our God

O praise His name forevermore

For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord, Oh Lord our God

Verse 3

Then on the third at break of dawn

The Son of heaven rose again

O trampled death, where is your sting

The angels roar for Christ the King

Verse 4

He shall return in robes of white

The blazing Son shall pierce the night

And I will rise among the saints

My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face

"Son of Suffering"

Verse 1

Oh the perfect Son of God in all His innocence

Here walking in the dirt with you and me

He knows what living is

He’s acquainted with our grief

A man of sorrows, Son of suffering

Chorus

Oh blood and tears, how can it be

That there’s a God who weeps

There’s a God who bleeds

Oh praise the One, who would reach for me

Hallelujah to the Son of suffering

Verse 2

Some imagine You are distant and removed

But You chased us down in merciful pursuit

To the sinner You were grace

And the broken You embraced

And in the end the proof is in Your wounds

Yes, in the end the proof was in Your wounds

Bridge

Your cross, my freedom

Your stripes, my healing

All praise, King Jesus

Glory to God in heaven

Your blood still speaking

Your love still reaching

All praise, King Jesus,

Glory to God forever

Sermon - "Not Your Garden Variety Rabbi” (Rev. Tom Palmer, Senior Pastor)

John 20:1-18 (NRSV)

"Homecoming"

Verse 1

Lord I confess that I’ve been a criminal

I’ve stolen your breath and sang my own song

And Lord I confess

That I’m far from innocent

These shackles I wear, I bought on my own

Chorus

Scarlet sins had a crimson cost

You nailed my debt to that old rugged cross

An empty slate at the empty grave

Thank God that stone was rolled away

Verse 2

Lord I confess I’ve been the prodigal

Made for Your house but walked my own roads

Then Jesus came and tore down my prison walls

Death came to life when He called me by name

Bridge

I see bright crimson robes

Draped over the ashes

A wide open tomb

Where there should be a casket

The children are singing

And dancing and laughing

The Father is welcoming

This is our homecoming

Bridge 2

I see roses in bloom pushed up from the embers

Rivers of tears flow from good times remembered

Families are singing and dancing and laughing

The Father is welcoming

This is our homecoming

Bridge 3

Heaven joins in with a glorious sound

And the great cloud of witnesses All gather ‘round

‘Cause the ones that were lost are finally found

The Father is welcoming

This is our homecoming
