Come, People of the Risen King
Verse 1
Come people of the Risen King
Who delight to bring Him praise
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in
Chorus
Rejoice rejoice let ev'ry tongue rejoice
One heart one voice
O Church of Christ rejoice
Verse 2
Come those whose joy is morning sun
And those weeping through the night
Come those who tell of battles won
And those struggling in the fight
For His perfect love will never change
And His mercies never cease
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace
Verse 3
Come young and old from ev'ry land
Men and women of the faith
Come those with full or empty hands
Find the riches of His grace
Over all the world His people sing
Shore to shore we hear them call
The truth that cries through ev'ry age
Our God is all in all
Come people of the Risen King
Who delight to bring Him praise
Come all and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in
Chorus
Rejoice rejoice let ev'ry tongue rejoice
One heart one voice
O Church of Christ rejoice

But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace

Come young and old from ev'ry land
Men and women of the faith

The truth that cries through ev'ry age
Our God is all in all
Because He Lives
Verse 1
God sent His Son they called Him Jesus
He came to love heal and forgive
He bled and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove
My Savior lives

Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives

How sweet to hold our newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
Because Christ lives

And then one day I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then as death gives way to vict'ry
I'll see the lights of glory
And I'll know He reigns

He came to love heal and forgive
He bled and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove
My Savior lives

Sunday is Coming
Verse 1
A great light dawns in Galilee
Some say mad man some say king
Wonder-working rebel priest
Jesus Christ the Nazarene
He knew well what it would take
To free us all from sin and grave
A perfect man would have to die
And only He could pay that price
Friday’s good 'cause Sunday is coming
Don’t lose hope 'cause Sunday is coming
Devil you’re done you better start running
Friday’s good 'cause Sunday is coming
Verse 2
So He let those soldiers take Him in
As His friend betrayed Him with a kiss
There before the mocking crowd
Like a lamb to the slaughter didn’t make a sound
Then He carried that cross to Calvary
And He shed His blood to set us free
As the nails went in and the sky went dark
The redemption of the world was on His heart
Friday’s good 'cause Sunday is coming
Don’t lose hope 'cause Sunday is coming
Devil you’re done you better start running
Friday’s good 'cause Sunday is coming
Bridge
Then He breathed His last and bowed His head
The Son of God and Man was dead
With bloody hands tears on their face
They laid Him down inside that grave
But that wasn’t the end that wasn’t the end
That wasn’t the end
Let me tell you what happened next
The women came before the dawn
To find that stone already gone
When they looked inside the angel said
Why you looking for the living among the dead
He’s alive He’s alive hallelujah He’s alive
Give Him praise lift Him high
Hallelujah He’s alive
He’s alive He’s alive hallelujah He’s alive
Give Him praise lift Him high
Hallelujah He’s alive
Ending
Now Jesus reigns upon the throne
All heaven sings to Him alone
We watch and wait like a bride for a groom
O church arise He’s coming soon
A great light dawns in Galilee
Some say mad man some say king
Wonder-working rebel priest
Jesus Christ the Nazarene
He knew well what it would take
To free us all from sin and grave
A perfect man would have to die
And only He could pay that price
Friday’s good 'cause Sunday is coming
Don’t lose hope 'cause Sunday is coming
Devil you’re done you better start running
Friday’s good 'cause Sunday is coming
Verse 2
So He let those soldiers take Him in
As His friend betrayed Him with a kiss
There before the mocking crowd
Like a lamb to the slaughter didn’t make a sound
Then He carried that cross to Calvary
And He shed His blood to set us free
As the nails went in and the sky went dark
The redemption of the world was on His heart
Friday’s good 'cause Sunday is coming
Don’t lose hope 'cause Sunday is coming
Devil you’re done you better start running
Friday’s good 'cause Sunday is coming
Bridge
Then He breathed His last and bowed His head

But that wasn’t the end that wasn’t the end
That wasn’t the end
Let me tell you what happened next

To find that stone already gone
When they looked inside the angel said
Why you looking for the living among the dead
He’s alive He’s alive hallelujah He’s alive
Give Him praise lift Him high
Hallelujah He’s alive
He’s alive He’s alive hallelujah He’s alive
Give Him praise lift Him high
Hallelujah He’s alive
Ending
Now Jesus reigns upon the throne
All heaven sings to Him alone
We watch and wait like a bride for a groom
O church arise He’s coming soon
Living Hope
Verse 1
How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished the end is written
Jesus Christ my living hope
Verse 2
Who could imagine so great a mercy
What heart could fathom such boundless grace
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever
Jesus Christ my living hope

Hallelujah death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ my living hope

Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me (REPEAT)
Jesus Yours is the victory

Oh God You are my living hope
How great the chasm that lay between us

Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished the end is written
Jesus Christ my living hope

In Christ Alone
Verse 1
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light my strength my song
This Cornerstone this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease
My Comforter my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
Verse 2
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
Verse 3
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
Verse 4
No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light my strength my song
This Cornerstone this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease
My Comforter my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
Verse 2
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
Verse 3
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
Verse 4
No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
