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 fulfil 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 Kings
Praise forever to the King of Kings

Praise to God for a Living Hope

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word that was preached to you.

I CAST MY MIND TO CALVARY

I cast my mind to calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me.
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet;
My Saviour on that cursed tree.

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.

O praise the Name of the Lord our God
O praise His Name for evermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord oh Lord our God

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.

O praise the Name of the Lord our God
O praise His Name for evermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord oh Lord our God

He shall return in robes of white,
The blazing sun shall pierce the night.
And I will rise among the saints,
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face.

O praise the Name of the Lord our God
O praise His Name for evermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord oh Lord our God

RESURRECTION HYMN

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 till 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,
honour and blessing,
glory and praise
to the King
crowned with power 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!
