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.”
