“Where Are You Looking For Life?”
Sermon
Bart Tarman delivers the Easter Sunday message “Where Are You Looking For Life?” with music from Kathleen Sieck and the Music Team.
Scripture
Luke 24:4-6 (The women at the tomb)
While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!”
Lyrics
“Crown Him With Many Crowns”
Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon the throne;
hark how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King through all eternity.
Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side,
rich wounds, yet visible above in beauty glorified:
no angel in the sky can fully bear that sight,
but downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright.
Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a scepter sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end; and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet.
Crown him the Lord of years, the potentate of time;
creator of the rolling spheres, in effably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail through-out eternity.
