Encountering God
What have we witnessed…in Jesus’ empty tomb?



We encounter God’s triumphant power in Jesus’ empty tomb.  Mary Magdalene encountered the resurrected Jesus and shared this news with the disciples.  We who God chooses to be witnesses are raised with Christ to the miracle of new life.  We rejoice in glad song!

10,000 reasons (Bless the Lord o my soul)       
(by Jonas Myron & Matt Redman)

CHORUS:  Bless the Lord O my soul O my soul
Worship His holy name. 
Sing like never before O my soul
I’ll worship your holy name.

The sun comes up It's a new day dawning
It's time to sing your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

CHORUS

You're rich in love and you’re slow to anger
Your name is great and your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
10,000 reasons for my heart to find

CHORUS


And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing your praise unending
10,000 years and then forever more

Mighty to save
(by Reuben Morgan and Ben Fielding)

Everyone needs compassion, a love that’s never failing.
Let mercy fall on me.
Everyone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a Savior,
The hope of nations.

CHORUS:  Savior, He can move the mountains.   
My God is mighty to save, He is mighty to save.   
Forever Author of Salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave. 
Jesus conquered the grave. 

So take me as you find me, all my fears and failures.
Fill my life again.
I give my life to follow ev’rything I believe in.
Now I surrender.

CHORUS

Shine your light and let the whole world see, we’re singing
For the glory of the risen King, Jesus.
Shine your light and let the whole world see, we’re singing
For the glory of the risen King.

CHORUS


In Christ alone
(words & music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townsend)

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.


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 ev’ry sin on Him was laid;
here in the death of Christ I live.


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.

No guilt in life, no fear in death;
this is the pow’r of Christ in me. 
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny. 
No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man,
can ever pluck me from His hand. 
Till he returns or calls me home,
here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand. 
Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand! 
Colossians 3:1-4
