He is risen,
glory hallelujah
He has risen
triumphant alleluia.
He is alive,
blissful elation
He is alive
joyful celebration.
He is risen,
peaceful expectation
He has risen

He is here,
cheerful jubilation
He is here
hopeful affirmation.
Jesus is risen,
just like He had said
Jesus is alive
no longer is He dead!

A Man of sorrows,
rejected and despised
unloved, unwanted
loathed and chastised.
A Man of our sufferings,
acquainted with affliction
grief, pain, anguish
trials and conviction.
A Man of our rebuke,
mournful and isolated
dejected, forgotten, beaten
set apart and terminated.
A Man of our diseases,
illnesses and sickness
maladies, disorders, decay
rebellion and brokenness.
A Man of sorrows,
sufferings and deceptions
A Man called Jesus . . .
died for our transgressions!
~~~~~~~~~~
Isaiah 53.3-5
He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces
from him; he was despised, and we
esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem
him stricken, smitten of God,
and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our
transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
The chastisement of our
peace was upon him;
and with his stripes
we are healed”

Because of Jesus,
I have God’s peace within

death isn’t my penalty.
Because of Jesus,
I have everlasting life
all because of Him . . .
I’ll not face eternal strife.
Because of Jesus,

I’m no longer worthless.
Because of Jesus,
all things are made new
all because of Him . . .
I’ve heaven in my view!

There is nothing I can do,
no magic door to enter in
if I want to get to heaven
there’s no lottery I can win.
There’s nothing I can do,
no purchase to make my way
for there isn’t enough money
to compensate for my stay.
There is nothing I can do,
to reserve a room for me
none of my works on earth
comes with such a guarantee.
There is nothing I can do,
to enter into God’s kingdom
no way for me to earn
the access or the freedom.
There is nothing I can do,
for Jesus paid the full price
I believe He became for me . . .
the one and only sacrifice!

Jesus died for you,
He too died for me
He died for the whole world
so our need for Him we’d see.
He died for the sinful,
the hardened, the hopeless
He died so that we’d see
without Him we’re helpless.
He died for the inmoral,
the wicked, the guilty
He died so that we’d see
without Him we are filthy.
He died for the sorrowful,
the thirsty, the meek
He died so that we’d see
without Him we are weak.
He died for the troubled,
the distressed, the weary
He died so that we’d see
without Him we are needy.
Jesus died for the lost,
He died for the unsaved
He died so we’d see how much . . .
without Him we’re depraved!

For You are the hope,

A love story not written,
with ink from a pen . . .
but dripping with blood
to release us all from sin.
The scarlet threads of love,
woven throughout history
reveals to all the world
salvation’s true mystery.
This design of redemption,
was always in God’s plan
it was the only way to show
His mercy to all of man.
For, God knew our souls,
needed true deliverance
so His sent His Son, Jesus
to atone for our ignorance.
Grace mixed with blood,
the day those nails were driven
making the death of Jesus . . .
the best love story ever written!

Forgiveness divine,
repent and believe
the power of grace
you will receive.
Washed of your sins,
gone is the shame
when you trust Jesus
nothing is the same.
Bathe in His mercy,
soak up His fullness
plunge yourself into
all of His goodness.
Healing compassion,
immersion of love
the blood of our Savior
God’s gift from above.
Forgiveness divine,
today is the day . . .
God’s mercy and grace
are just one prayer away!

the new life to us
that He brings.
A life of hope,
gloriously eternal
a life saved
from hell’s infernal.
Today we rejoice,
for a Savior risen
freeing us from

A freedom from,
works without grace
a liberty of faith
for us to embrace.
Today we celebrate,
Jesus’ resurrection
the triumphed climax
to His crucifixion!

For my Savior,
endured for me
the pain, the shame
to set me free.
I thank God,
for Jesus dying breath

For my sins,
on the cross He bore
so I could have life
with Him forever more.

I have been redeemed
not with silver or gold
but with a lively hope
taking on my heart a hold.
I had nothing to give,
only my faith in His grace
for Jesus took upon Himself
the penalty in my place.
I have been redeemed,
no longer am I culpable
all because Jesus saw . . .
me as being lovable.
It’s a one time payment,
Jesus made for me
for only by His blood
was I able to be set free.
I have been redeemed,
Jesus my sins bought
for the lamb of God . . .
willingly took my spot!

There is power,
in the resurrection
to the world ways
a disconnection.
There is victory,
arising from the dead
a message of hope
not of fear or dread.
There is salvation,
full of love and grace
not of defeat
when Jesus we embrace.
There is eternal rest,
everlasting life
one filled with peace
not of worldly strife.
There is forgiveness,
rising from the grave
there is a restoration
as Jesus’ life He gave!

Jesus came back,
as He said He would
He said He’d return
and there He stood.
With eyes open wide,
they watched in dismay
for only three days ago
He had gone away.
Jesus appeared again,
as if out of the blue
telling them I promised
I would come back to you.
With mouths agape,
they became afraid
for there Jesus was
resurrected and raised.
Jesus came back once,
He will come once more . . .

He would do before!

Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was
crucified: he is risen; he is not here:
behold the place where they laid him.
But go your way, tell his disciples
and Peter that he goeth before you
into Galilee: there shall ye see him,

to Your voice deep within.
Thank You for Your grace,
the thorns of righteousness
thank You for opening my mouth
so my evil ways I could confess.
Thank You for Your love,
the lashings of my shame
thank You for opening my heart
so I may call upon Your name.
Thank You for the sacrificial blood,
that poured out from Your Son . . .
thank You for the gift of salvation
for my soul, Christ has won!

Hebrews 2:9

crowned with glory and honour; that he by the

Everyone needs a song,
of deliverance . . .
everyone needs Jesus
to make a difference.
Everyone needs a victory,
over the enemy
everyone needs a fortress
that is heavenly.
Everyone needs a defense,
a rock to cling on
everyone needs Jesus
to depend upon.
Everyone needs a tower,
they can run into
everyone needs a trust
that they can pursue.
Everyone needs a song,
of their redemption. . .
everyone needs Jesus
for their salvation!

Isaiah 12:2
Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and not be afraid:
for the Lord Jehovah
is my strength
and my song;
he also is become
my salvation.
Psalm 18:1-2
I will love thee, O Lord,
my strength.
The Lord is my rock,
and my fortress,
and my deliverer;
my God, my strength,
in whom I will trust;
my buckler,
and the horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.

I’ve been liberated,
Jesus has set me free
He paid the penalty
the day He died for me.
I’ve been redeemed,
Jesus paid the ransom
to make room for me
in His Father’s mansion.
I’ve been rescued,
Jesus has delivered me
He paid the price
there upon Calvary’s tree.
I’ve been saved,
Jesus bought my freedom
one day with Him I’ll reside
in His Father’s kingdom.
I’ve been redeemed,
Jesus paid the deficit
so the hope of my salvation . . .
would be sure and definite!
~~~~~~~~~~
1 Peter 1:3-5
Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant
mercy hath begotten us again
unto a lively hope by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead,
To an inheritance incorruptible,
and undefiled, and that fadeth
not away, reserved in heaven for you,
Who are kept by the power of God
through faith unto salvation ready
to be revealed in the last time.

Beyond the cross,
there’s a glorious view
for in Jesus’ death . . .
all things are made new.
New beginnings,
fresh clean starts
eternal hope
to fill our hearts.
Beyond the cross,
there is new life
the end to sin
and worldly strife.
No more battles,
no more struggles
no more satan
causing troubles.
Beyond the cross,
there are no fears
no death, no pain
and no more tears.
Despair will end,
suffering will cease
there will only be
everlasting peace.
Beyond the cross,
hope springs anew
all because Jesus . . .
died for me and you!

Hebrews 12:2
“Looking unto Jesus
the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross,
despising the shame,
and is set down at the
right hand of the throne of God.”

“It is finished”
words of agony from Jesus’ lips
“It is finished”
no greater love will again eclipse.
“It is finished”
these words aloud Jesus said
and for the sins of everyone
His soul hemorrhaged and bled.
“It is finished”
but, what really had just begun
was that grace and forgiveness
were freely given by God’s Son.
“It is finished”
but, for you it can be a new start
if you repent now of your sin
and give Jesus your whole heart.
“It is finished”
Jesus died so that you’d be free
if you let His death at Calvary
take you down to your knees.
“It is finished”
but, it’s not the end of the story
not until the day all of mankind
bows before God in all His glory.
“It is finished”
words of hope from Jesus’ lips
“It is finished”
don’t let His love for you eclipse!
~~~~~~~~~~~
John 19:30
“So when Jesus had received the sour
wine, He said, “It is finished!” And
bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.”

One nail was all it took,
to crucify Christ that day
it started with just one nail
for the crowd to get their way.
One blow upon that nail,
got the crowd to cheer and yell
“Crucify Him, Crucify Him”
put the hammer to that nail.
One nail was all it took,
for them to secure His fate
one large, iron nail became
the spike of their distaste.
One bang upon that nail,
their voices swelled and soared
“Crucify Him, Crucify Him”
as they began to nail the Lord.
One nail was all it took,
though they used all three
but, it started with that one nail
so all sinners could go free.
All it took was that first nail,
for the crowd to be satisfied
just one strike upon that nail . . .
and our Savior they crucified!

Mark 15:13-14
“And they cried out again, Crucify him.”
Then Pilate said unto them,
Why, what evil hath he done?
” And they cried out the more exceedingly,
Crucify him.”

I thank God,
it’s Good Friday
I’m so grateful
for this one day.
For my Savior,
endured for me
the pain, the shame
to set me free.
I thank God,
for Jesus dying breath
for it saved me
from eternal death.
For my sins,
on the cross He bore
so I could have life
with Him forever more.
I thank God,
it’s Good Friday
for Jesus is to Him . . .
the only pathway!

It’s all about You Lord,
not about me . . .
it’s all about what You did
on Calvary’s tree.
It’s all about Your love,
the gift of Your grace
it’s all about that day
my sins You erased.
It’s all about Your life,
Your Truth, the Way
it’s all about giving You
my faith each day.
It’s all about Your strength,
Your might and power
it’s all about trusting You
my every waking hour.
It’s all about Your mercy,
Your compassion and affection
it’s all about making You . . .
the image in my reflection.
It’s all about You Lord,
not about me . . .
it’s all about Your blood
setting me free!

Father, thank You for the Cross,
for all Jesus did for me
for opening my eyes
so my fallen state I could see.
Thank You for Your mercy,
the scourging of my sin
for opening my ears
to Your wooing voice within.
Thank You for Your favor,
the thorns of righteousness
for opening my mouth
so my wrongs I could confess.
Thank You Father for Your love,
the lashings of my shame
for opening my heart
so I could call upon Your name.
Thank You for the blood,
that poured out from Your Son
for the gift of salvation . . .
You granted to every one!
