Thoughts
I love “Happy Day” it is a great song of celebration of the risen Jesus. We do not have to wait for Easter to express the joy of our salvation. My favorite line is “I’ll never be the same, forever I am changed”. When we experience the grace of God, we are changed and our life is about being conformed into the image of Christ.
“Hosanna” we introduced last week and I hope that we can make it our own, because our church’s heart is to serve. The process of our heart being broken for the things that break his heart should be our continuous prayer as a church. This connects very well with the theme of “God of Justice”. After our hearts are broken for others, we have to believe that God has the strength to help and to heal.
“Nothing But the Blood” which speaks about how we can approach God with confidence because of the price that was payed by Jesus’ sacrifice.
Key Verse;
Hebrews 10:19-23
“Therefore brothers, since we have confidence to enter into the Most Holy Pace by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and have our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”

Hosanna
Everlasting God / Brown
Hosanna / Fraser
You Are the One / Brewster
Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

The focus this week in the songs is the firm foundation of Christ. Some great words come out of “In Christ Alone” about the characteristics of this foundation.
1 Corinthians 3:10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. 11For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Hosanna is a new song for us and it came highly recommended by some of my fellow worship leaders. Hosanna means come save now, which brings a lot of meaning to the verses. The line that is constantly on my heart with this song is, “Break my heart for what breaks yours.” There are always certain words that we walk away with in songs and can be used by God to challenge our perspective of Him or our actions towards others.
This is the essence of what it means to have a lifestyle of worship; these words can be used to develop devotional habits throughout the week.

This Sundays songs and thoughts...
Beautiful One
Praising Jesus for His Majesty, and thanking Him for His beautiful sacrifice.
Favorite line this morning, “My Soul must sing”
King of Glory
Jesus in the King of Glory, strong and mighty.
Favorite line, “Let the Redeemed declare the love” For our church that translates as demonstrating and announcing the love of God, through Jesus, to our Oikos or relational world.
Verse Reference...Psalms 24:7-10
Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle!
Lift up your heads, O gates!
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory!
God of Justice
Matt. 20:28 “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Some of you may not know that our church is 140 years old and historically our motto has been this verse- “ not to be ministered unto, but to minister.”
This song talks about the actions Jesus did and encourages us to act.
