One by One – v3

Looking into our hearts,

meticulous and probing;

Threshing all the wheat

looking for who is worthy.

No longer searching

for a collected people;

Gathering in one by one

those who are faithful.

All the world the threshing floor

of God the Creator, the Judge;

Searching out the worthy grain

to be gathered in.

all that we have accomplished you have done for us – v3

Nothing by my own hand

in truth I am but the glove;

You are the one who lifted me up

You who fills my cup.

All that I am

all that I will ever be;

All the good I have done

only because of Thee.

Lord I bow down

humbly before You;

All that we have accomplished

You have done for us.

quote attributed to Corrie ten Bloom,

“I have a glove here in my hand. The glove cannot do anything by itself, but when my hand is in it, it can do many things. True, it is not the glove, but my hand in the glove that acts. We are gloves. It is the Holy Spirit in us who is the hand, who does the job. We have to make room for the hand so that every finger is filled.”

We celebrate Christ’s victory – v2

We shout with joy,

we sing our happiness,

we celebrate as one

Christ’s victory over sin and death.

Our life new once more, alive

because He bore the cross

because He rose from grave

to seal the breach for us.

our actions, our walk in this life

our faithfulness to God

through the lives we live

sharing the Christ

the light of God

out in the world

not by our words only

by the mark of our path

through the lives we live

in this seeing God

They found the tomb empty – v2

The angels had rolled the stone away

Christ was alive, risen;

They found the tomb empty

His grave could not hold Him.

God gave life, rebirth,

new life to our Savior;

Risen from the death

to show us the Father.

The Son is risen from the grave,

now seated in heaven;

Our joy complete

we are free at last.

We are witnesses – v4

We were not there in Jerusalem

on the third day;

we were not there

when He left the grave;

but we are witnesses,

commissioned by Christ,

We are to share His message,

to bear His light.

We too are disciples

as was Paul, all the others,

with the same commission

as we walk in this life;

We are to share His message,

to bear His light.

to be His witnesses

to the ends of the earth.
