Today’s Anthem: “He Lives!” Text by Susan Bentall Boersma Music by David Lantz III
Jesus lives, He is risen victorious!
Chains of death could not hold Him! Amen! Shout for joy, Jesus Christ tore the bars away,
Now the crucified One lives again!
Jesus lives!
With the whole earth together we sing. Jesus lives!
Let the heavens rejoice , He is King!
He inhabits the praise of his people. Lift His name, see His glory come down.
Lamb of God, Prince of Peace, conquered death for us,
Resurrected King now wears a crown!
Jesus lives!...
Come and worship Him now, Christ the Savior,
Crowned with glory and honor, He reigns. Jesus lives, with His own sing a song of praise.
He has given us life through His name.
Jesus lives!...
Crown Him Lord of all!
