When Church Hurts
Sadly, way too many people have been HURT by the church, instead of being HELPED by the church. This often leads to a pain that drives us from church and often keeps us spiritually hurt for years. We are setting aside May 16 to address “When Church Hurts,” and I pray that you and hurt loved ones will join us, as we seek Jesus’ healing together.

Song Lyrics:

O Praise The Name (Anastasis)
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me I see His wounds, His hands, His feet My Savior 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 forevermore 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
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

Christ Arose
Low in the grave He lay Jesus, my Savior Waiting the coming day Jesus, my Lord
Vainly they watch His bed Jesus, my Savior Vainly they seal the dead Jesus, my Lord
Death cannot his prey
Jesus, my Savior He tore the bars away Jesus, my Lord
Up from the grave He arose With a mighty triumph o'er His foes He arose a victor from the dark domain And He lives forever with His saints to reign He arose, He arose Hallelujah Christ arose

He Lives
See the tomb where He laid See the stone rolled away He is risen, He is risen He's alive See His hands, see His feet Touch His scars and believe He is risen, He is risen He's alive Oh, He's alive
He lives All honor and power are His All glory forever, amen Jesus lives
Hear the shackles breaking free Hear the song of the redeemed He is moving, He is moving He's alive Take this freedom, take this love Can you feel it rising up? He is here, He is here He's alive
You took all our shame, left it in the grave We're forgiven, we're forgiven The work forever done only by the blood It is finished, it is finished

Death Was Arrested
Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin Lost without hope with no place to begin Your love made a way to let mercy come in When death was arrested and my life began
Ash was redeemed only beauty remains My orphan heart was given a name My mourning grew quiet my feet rose to dance When death was arrested and my life began
Oh Your grace so free washes over me You have made me new
Now life begins with You It's Your endless love pouring down on us You have made us new now life begins with You
Released from my chains I'm a prisoner no more My shame was a ransom He faithfully bore He cancelled my debt and He called me His friend When death was arrested and my life began
Our Savior displayed on a criminal's cross Darkness rejoiced as though heaven had lost But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand That's when death was arrested and my life began
Oh, we're free, free, forever we're free Come join the song of all the redeemed Yes, we're free, free, forever amen When death was arrested and my life began

Because He Lives
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus He came to love, heal and forgive He lived 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 a newborn baby And feel the pride and the joy he gives But greater still the calm assurance This child can face uncertain days
because He 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!
