See, What a Morning - April 24, 2011

Words and Music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend

See, what a morning, gloriously bright,
With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem.
Folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light,
As the angels announce, “Christ is risen!”
See God’s salvation plan,
Wrought in love, borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,
Fulfilled in Christ, the Man,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

See Mary weeping, “Where is He laid?”
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb;
Hears a voice speaking, calling her name;
It’s the Master, the Lord raised to life again!
The voice that spans the years,
Speaking life, stirring hope, bringing peace to us,
Will sound ‘til He appears,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty.
Honor and blessing, glory and praise
To the King crowned with pow’r and authority!
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won, Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives: Christ is risen from the dead!

Song of the Lamb - April 17, 2011

Words and Music by Tom Mills and Tom Elowson

Great and miraculous are Your deeds
And righteousness is Your way, Lord;
You are the almighty King of kings,
The Lord of all the age.
Oh, who will not fear You, oh Lord,
And glorify Your holy name?
When Your righteousness is revealed,
Ev’ry knee shall bow, ev’ry tongue confess that…

You alone are holy, You alone are holy
All nations come and worship You
We’ll sing praise with the song of the Lamb

All glory be to You, God and King;
The heavens declare all Your greatness.
So bright and beautiful in the skies
Their message rings to the earth.
Oh, who will not fear You, oh Lord,
And glorify Your holy name?
When Your righteousness is revealed,
Ev’ry knee shall bow, ev’ry tongue confess that…

One day we’ll all sing around Your throne
Praising Your holy name, Lord,
Like the waves of a hundred oceans
Thundering on the shore
Singing, who will not fear You, oh Lord,
And glorify Your holy name?
When Your righteousness is revealed,
Ev’ry knee shall bow, ev’ry tongue confess that…

Psalm 139 - April 10, 2011

A Psalm of David

1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. 3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, You know it all.

5 You have enclosed me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it. 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, and the light around me will be night,” 12 Even the darkness is not dark to You, and the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You.

Marvelous Light - April 3, 2011

By Charlie Hall

I once was fatherless, a stranger with no hope;
Your kindness wakened me, awakened me from my sleep.
Your love it beckons deeply, a call to come and die.
By grace now I will come and take this life, take Your life.

Sin has lost its power, death has lost its sting.
From the grave You’ve risen victoriously!
Into marvelous light I’m running,
Out of darkness, out of shame.
By the cross You are the truth,
You are the life, You are the way.

My dead heart now is beating, my deepest stains now clean.
Your breath fills up my lungs; now I’m free, now I’m free!

Lift my hands and spin around, see the light that I have found.
Oh, the marvelous light, marvelous light.
