People: For us, resisting the impulse to sleep in as part of another weekend at the Jersey Shore, and being overly-familiar with the Easter story... there is the risk of complacency. Leader: So let us open ourselves to the astounding possibility that life can break out at any moment!. People: Let us challenge the thought that we have planned the future so efficiently that there will be no surprises! Leader: Let us face the fact that the walls of this Pavilion the walls of any church, and the "life" of our institution cannot entirely contain the Way, the Truth, and the Life of Jesus Christ! People: Let us celebrate the irrepressible power of God breaking out with abundant life where and when we least expect it! Paraphrased from : Anne Siddall by gsriv “Where I Belong” Sometimes it feels like I'm watching from the outside Sometimes it feels like I'm breathing but am I alive I won't keep searching for answers that aren't here to find Chorus All I know is I'm not home yet This is not where I belong Take this world and give me Jesus This is not where I belong So when the walls come falling down on me And when I'm lost in the current of a raging sea I have this blessed assurance holding me Chorus bridge When the earth shakes I want to be found in You When the lights fade I want to be found in You Chorus Chorus lyric & music : Jason Ingram | Jason Roy © 2010 Sony/ATV Timber Publishing (Admin. by Sony/ATV Sounds LLC)West Main Music (Admin. by Sony/ATV Sounds LLC) Windsor Hill Music (Admin. by Sony/ATV Sounds LLC) Sony/ATV Tree Publishing (Admin. by Sony/ATV Songs LLC) Antiphonal Liturgy Leader: Lord… we thought you were dead. People: We thought the cross was the end. Leader: We thought when the stone rolled over the tomb , that was it. People: But this is it… the dead are living! Leader: The cross is empty! People: The stone is rolled, and one word describes it all: Alleluia! Leader: Savior…we thought You had said Your final word. People: We thought those with power had won. Leader: We thought that when You cried out, that was it. People: But this is it:… the Word breathes! Leader: The powers are defeated! People: The final cry was only the beginning, and one word says it all: Alleluia! Leader: We thought the story was finished. People: We thought the hope had ended. Leader: We thought that when the tomb was sealed, that was it. People: But this is it: the story had just begun! Leader: The hope is newly born! People: The tomb is empty, Jesus is risen! Leader: And one word says it all... People: Alleluia! Leader: We thought that when they crucified You, death had defeated life, and that was it. People: But this is it: Love is stronger than death! Christ is risen! Leader: And one word says it all... People: Alleluia! Paraphrased from :Roddy Hamilton by gsriv “Utter Praise Mantra” (Psalm 106 ) 1) Hallelujah! Glory to God, Thy will be done! 2) Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? 3) Who can declare all His praises? 4) Remember me, O Lord with the favor You have toward Your people O visit me with Your salvation with Your salvation lyric & music: Alan Herman Brown/GeorgeScholes.Robson4/Glenn Robert Swindell © 1997 LibraryMusic Psalm 106: 2-4 Collect Leader: Stop! Did you hear it? The stone rolling. The grave clothes being folded. The body rising. Like a whispered "Alleluia" in the stillness of the dawn but it was real. People: Did we hear it? The angels' muffled laughter as the women reached the tomb. The dawn breaks over the garden revealing footprints in the dew. The mountains bow in slow grandeur just out the corner of our eyes. Like something shifting at the edge of our sight. But it is real. Leader: Did you hear it? The world holding it’s breath. The stars hesitating. The sun lingering. Creation filling it’s lungs. The air and the seas swell. People: So that the whole earth can proclaim: Christ is risen! Leader: Here we celebrate another Resurrection Sunday! People: So that we can proclaim: Christ is risen! Paraphrased from :Roddy Hamilton by gsriv “Christ Is Risen” 1) Let no one caught in sin remain inside the lie of inward shame But fix our eyes upon the cross and run to Him who showed great love and bled for us Freely You've bled for us Chorus Christ is risen from the dead Trampling over death by death Come awake Come awake Come and rise up from the grave Christ is risen from the dead We are one with Him again Come awake Come awake Come and rise up from the grave 2) Beneath the weight of all our sin You bowed to none but heaven's will No scheme of hell no scoffer's crown No burden great can hold You down in strength You reign Forever let Your church proclaim Chorus bridge O death where is your sting? O hell where is your victory? O church come stand in the light The glory of God has defeated the night (Singing) O death where is your sting? O hell where is your victory? O church come stand in the light Our God is not dead He's alive He's alive!!!
