Posted: April 23, 2025 in Uncategorized

Gathering | Ps. 118 This Is the Day

This is the day the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad___in it

Preparation of the Gifts | We Walk by Faith

We walk by faith and not by sight
No gracious words we hear
From Christ who spoke as none e’er spoke
But we believe Him near
We may not touch the hands and side
Nor follow where He trod
Yet in the promise we rejoice and cry

We cry, “My Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You will always be the Lord of all of me”

Help then O Lord our unbelief
And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near
And seek where You are found
Then when our life of faith is done
In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are
In full and endless sight

“My Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You are my Lord and God
You will always be the Lord of all of me”

Repeat Refrain if necessary

Communion | 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

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

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

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of…

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

Sing in the Spirit

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

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of…

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

Closing | Jesus Reigns

Awakened to the light
darkness has been conquered
Eternal life
we now know the way
No fear and strife
Ev’rything is different
Jesus has been raised

We can never be the same
our eyes are open
We must proclaim

Jesus reigns
Jesus reigns
Jesus reigns
Jesus reigns
Jesus reigns
Forever and ever
Forever and ever, Amen
