"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
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
Pastoral Prayer and Lord's Prayer

Thy kingdom come,

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.

"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

"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
