I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me will never die! I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me will live a new life!

ANTHEM: My Tribute by Andrae Crouch/arr. by Paul Langford; Miles Mineer, bass solo; Julie Metz, violin
How can I say thanks for the things you have done for me? Things so undeserved, yet you give to prove your love for me. The voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude. All that I am and ever hope to be I owe it all to thee. To God be the glory, for the things he has done. With his blood he has saved me, with his power he has raised me. Just let me live my life, let it be pleasing, Lord, to thee. And if I gain any praise, let it go to Calvary.
PRAYER
HYMN: We Know That Christ Is Raised [Engelberg]
