He is risen, He is risen!

He is risen, He is risen!

Tell it out with joyful voice:

He has burst his three days' prison;

Let the whole wide earth rejoice:

Death is conquered, man is free,

Christ has won the victory.

Come, with high and holy hymning,

Chant our Lord's triumphant day;

Not one darksome cloud is dimming

Yonder glorious morning ray,

Breaking o’er the purple east,

Symbol of our Easter feast.

He is risen, He is risen!

He hath opened heaven's gate:

We are free from sin's dark prison,

Risen to a holier state;

And a brighter Easter beam

On our longing eyes shall stream.

-Joachim Neander

On That Day...

On That Day/CityAlight

 I believe in Christ, risen from the dead

   He now reigns victorious, His kingdom knows no end

   Through His resurrection death has lost its hold

   I know on that final day I’ll rise as Jesus rose

CHORUS

On that day we will see you shining brighter than the sun

On that day we will know you as we lift our voice as one

Till that day we will praise you for your never ending grace

And we will keep on singing on that glorious day

2. What a blessed hope, though now tired and worn

   We will spend eternity around our Saviour’s throne

   Though we grieve our losses we grieve not in vain

   For we know our crown of glory waits beyond the grave

BRIDGE

Hallelujah what a day it will be

For at home with you my joy is complete

As I run into your arms open wide I will see

My father who is waiting for me

Holy Saturday: Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!

     O Lord, hear my voice!

Let your ears be attentive

    to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

    O Lord, who could stand?

 But with you there is forgiveness,

    that you may be feared.

 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,

    and in his word I hope;

 my soul waits for the Lord

    more than watchmen for the morning,

    more than watchmen for the morning.

 O Israel, hope in the Lord!

    For with the Lord there is steadfast love,

    and with him is plentiful redemption.

 And he will redeem Israel

    from all his iniquities.

-Psalm 130 

Jerusalem...Praise the One Who saved us!

 

Jerusalem/CityAlight

See Him in Jerusalem

Walking where the crowds are

Once these streets had sung to Him

Now they cry for murder

Such a frail and lonely Man

Holding up the heavy cross

See Him walking in Jerusalem

On the road to save us

2. See Him there upon the hill

Hear the scorn and laughter

Silent as a lamb He waits

Praying to the Father

See the King who made the sun

And the moon and shining stars

Let the soldiers hold and nail Him down

So that He could save them

3. See Him there upon the cross

Now no longer breathing

Dust that formed the watching crowds

Takes the blood of Jesus

Feel the earth is shaking now

See the veil is split in two

And He stood before the wrath of God

Shielding sinners with His blood

4. See the empty tomb today

Death could not contain Him

Once the Servant of the world

Now in vict'ry reigning

Lift your voices to the One

Who is seated on the throne

See Him in the New Jerusalem

Praise the One who saved us

Holy Thursday: Is It So?

Then He poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith He was girded. -John 13:5

 

The Lord Jesus loves his people so much, that every day he is still doing for them much that is analogous to washing their soiled feet. Their poorest actions he accepts; their deepest sorrow he feels; their slenderest wish he hears, and their every transgression he forgives. He is still their servant as well as their Friend and Master....humbly, patiently, he yet goes about among his people with the basin and the towel. He does this when he puts away from us day by day our constant infirmities and sins....It is a great act of eternal love when Christ once for all absolves the sinner, and puts him into the family of God; but what condescending patience there is when the Saviour with much long-suffering bears the oft recurring follies of his wayward disciple; day by day, and hour by hour, washing away the multiplied transgressions of his erring but yet beloved child!....While we find comfort and peace in our Lord’s daily cleansing, its legitimate influence upon us will be to increase our watchfulness, and quicken our desire for holiness. Is it so? ...CH Spurgeon Image

Your Will Be Done...

 

Your Will Be Done/CityAlight

1. As Jesus walked, so I shall walk

Held by Your same unchanging love

Be still my soul

Oh, lift your voice and pray

Father not my will but Yours be done

2. How in that garden he persisted

     I may never fully know

     The fearful weight of true obedience

     It was held by him alone

CHORUS

What wondrous faith, to bear that cross

To bear my sin, what wondrous love

My hope was sure

When there my Saviour prayed

Father not my will but Yours be done

3. When I am lost, when I am broken

     In the night of fear and doubt

     Still I will trust in my good Father

     Yes, to one great King I bow!

CHORUS

As Jesus rose, so I shall rise

In ransomed glory at the throne

My heart restored

With all your saints I sing

Father, not my will but Yours be done

4. As we go forth, our God and Father

     Lead us daily in the fight

     That all the world might see Your glory

     And Your Name be lifted high

CHORUS

And in this Name we overcome

For You shall see us safely home

Now as your church

We lift our voice and pray

Father, not my will but Yours be done

Genesis 1

Sermon: Matthew 7:1-6

 

Pastor Rob Burns: Matthew 7:1-6 

 March 10, 2024

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye?  You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

“Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn 

to attack you. -Matthew 7:1-6

Come Unto Jesus...

 

Come Unto Jesus (Acoustic Lyrics/Chords) 

- Laura Story, Jordan Kauflin, Keith & Kristyn Getty

Come unto Jesus, all you who are weary;

Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.

Here bring your wounded hearts, broken and needy;

Come unto Jesus, mighty to heal.

Joy of the comfortless, Light for the straying,

Hope of the penitent, Peace in our strife;

Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying:

"My yoke is easy, my burden is light." 

Come unto Jesus, 

Come unto Jesus.

Lay down your burdens, He is enough;

Come unto Jesus, rest in His love.

Come taste the Bread of Life, broken for sinners;

Drink from the cup of His promise made sure.

Feast at His table as sons and as daughters;

Grace overflowing is yours evermore.

Come unto Jesus, 

Come unto Jesus.

Lay down your burdens, He is enough;

Come unto Jesus, rest in His love.

Come now and follow Him, this life forsaking;   

All that was gain, count as nothing but loss.

Trade all this world for His kingdom unfading;

Come unto Jesus, take up your cross;

Come unto Jesus, take up your cross;

Life everlasting He offers to us.

Come unto Jesus, 

Come unto Jesus.

Lay down your burdens, He is enough;

Come unto Jesus, rest in His love.

Sermon: Matthew 6: 19-24

 

Pastor Rob Burns: Matthew 6:19-24 

 February 25, 2024

 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. 

-Matthew 6:19-24
