EASTER ORATORIO – lyrics
No More Fear of Dying
We Want to Know Christ – listen hereÂ
Phillipians 3:10; Romans 8:11
We want to know Christ
and the power of His Resurrection
We want to know Christ
and the power of His Love
If that power be in you
it shall quicken your mortal bodies
If that power be in you
you shall have eternal life
We want to know Christ
and the power of His Resurrection
We want to know Christ
and the power of His Love
FRIDAY
(a week before Easter)
Jesus – on His way to Jerusalem, stops in Bethany at the house of Simon, the Leper.
What is That Lovely Fragrance?
Matthew 26; Mark 14; John 12:13
What is that lovely fragrance pervading the atmosphere?
Behold the One anointed
The presence of the Lord is here
Mary approached the table with an alabaster jar in her hand
Removing the ornate cover, she anointed the Son of Man
The balm is cool, the ointment sweet
to soothe the pain in Your head and feet
The road before You is long
Take courage, Lord, be strong
Judas rebuked her harshly, “Such costly perfume to waste.
Over a year in wages you’ve needlessly thrown away.”
“Why do you mock this woman? She’s done a beautiful deed.
This gentle act of kindness has meant very much to Me.”
The balm is cool, the ointment sweet
to soothe the pain in Your head and feet
The road before You is long
Take courage, Lord, be strong
What is that lovely fragrance pervading the atmosphere?
Behold the One anointed
The presence of the Lord is here
SATURDAY
Jesus spends the day with His friends
SUNDAY
Jesus begins His fateful journey to Jerusalem. Riding on a donkey, He approaches the city
where He is greeted by the masses with tremendous enthusiasm and is hailed as a prophet.
Hosanna – listen here
Zechariah 4:9; Psalm 118:26; Matthew 21:5-9;
Mark 11:9; Luke 19:40
Rejoice greatly, O, daughter of Zion
Hosanna
Shout, people of Jerusalem
Hosanna
Behold, King Jesus is coming to meet you
With righteousness and bringing salvation
Hosanna, Hosanna
Blessed is He
who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna, Hosanna
Rejoice greatly, O, daughter of Zion
Hosanna
If we keep silent the stones will cry out
Hosanna
Behold, King Jesus is coming to meet you
With righteousness and bringing salvation
Hosanna, Hosanna
