Speak of Him

What are those around us saying?
Are we for these people praying?
I want them to see this God of mine,
And I want them, my God to refine.

Am I speaking well of Him?
Or does out of me, evil stem?
I want to be a blessing to others,
I want to save my brothers.

They live life to their own desire,
But this will end in Hell's fire.
My life is not my own,
And this by my Saviour has been shown.

Rejoice, For He has Risen

Rejoice, for He has risen,
And all those who know Him, listen,
He lived and died and rose again,
It rings throughout the ages, Amen.

He lives within our hearts,
And everyday His love imparts,
Salvation's saving power,
And we praise Him every day and every hour.

He foretold us long ago,
So that later we would know,
Of Jesus' sacrifice,
And only His blood would pay the price.

We have remembered as we drank the wine,
And break the bread, that our Lord, Divine,
Did crush the serpent's head and his power defeat,
When blood flowed from His head, His hands, His side, His feet.

Rejoice, with those who have seen Him,
Because He rose and broke sin's chains and gave us freedom.
For those who have not seen Him can only anticipate His return,
But until then we can watch and pray and learn.

The Eve of the Resurrection

The day has past when our Lord was crucified,
The day on which our Saviour on the cross died.
He did what no one else could do,
And with His blood, He has made our lives new.

We wept on the day that He died,
But before that in the garden He cried,
He was greatly burdened by what He had to do,
But He knew that His Father would see Him through.

He took on this burden willingly,
So we could see what He did for you and me.
A death that would change many lives,
But on the third day, our Saviour revives.

Look to tomorrow and know what is to come,
When the stone was rolled away from the tomb.
For our Saviour is living in the hearts of men,
And He is daily saving them from sin.

Good Friday

This day our Saviour did die,
But there is no reason to cry.
The only reason we weep,
Is because the hold on sin we keep.

For salvation did come along ago,
Because our Saviour, His love did show.
He offers it to all who believe,
Then they, my Christ shall receive.

For He made His way up that hill,
And through this, His promise He did fulfill.
For salvation does not come by works of good,
Even though some people think it should.

For the blood that did flow from the cross,
Helped to refine and burn away sin's dross.
We are blinded by our sinful state,
And we in this state will not cooperate.

For we celebrate this day, because of what He did,
When He through salvation, our souls of sin He rid.
No other day holds so much promise,
Because of what He did for us.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

Worship the True King

Though the King of Heaven endured our sin,
He did it to take away the filthiness within.
For He chose that this cup not pass away,
And He is the beacon so that He can light our way.

This King does not have a earthly home,
But He did on this sod for short time did roam.
While He was here, He did many great things,
And with His death, our salvation He brings.

Three days hence, He did rise and conquered the grave,
And through His sacrifice, He is able to save.
You claim that there is no higher power,
But Satan through this lie, has many devoured.

My Jesus is the eternal King,
And my praise will loudly sing.
You fill the void left by sin,
And Your Spirit lives within.
