Angel’s Message (Matthew 28:1-10)

Heaven rended,  light descended,
Angel-power rolls the stone,
Splendor shining, glory blinding,
Turns the tomb into his throne.

Fear and trembling, downward bending,
Fills the women up with dread,
Veteran warriors, seasoned soldiers,
Fall like stone, as if they're dead.

"Seek immortal through grave's portal?
Seek you life among the dead?
Look, the Savior's not contained here,
He is risen as He said!"

Hear delighted, joy ignited,
Greatest news that man can tell,
Christ ascended, death is ended,
Jesus saved our soul from hell.

Christ revealing, sorrow healing,
Kneeling down to kiss His feet.
As He's risen, rise forgiven,
Our salvation is complete.

Faith that Covers Faults (Hebrews 11:30-34)

Faith becomes the gloss,
Which covers all our taints.
From convoluted crooks,
The Lord revived His saints.
From grumblers to conquerors,
From harlot to legitimate,
From trembling to leveling,
From cowardice to confidence,
From strong to weak, with something sweet,
From hated son to valiant one,
From tending flocks to slinging rocks,
From offering to crowning kings.
Though each had many faults,
They chose still to obey.
Their sins washed by the cross,
They’re faithful still today.

Coming Into His Presence (Hebrews 10:11-22)

Before Your face we bow in shame.
We tremble at Your holy name.
Your law shows us condemned,
In slavery to our sin.
Your justice says we must be slain.

No penance, gift, or sacrifice,
No list of laws will yet suffice.
For every moral law,
Declares to us our flaws,
And they will never make us right.

But Christ makes right all who are His.
His death a full forgiveness is.
He dying once for all,
Reverses Adam’s fall.
The veil removed from heaven’s bliss.

The Holy Place is open then,
And Jesus Christ will lead us in.
No dread before the Lord,
Our innocence restored,
In confidence approaching Him.

Lord, let me never turn again,
To working to remove my stain,
But let me rest in You.
I trust You will renew,
So in Your presence I remain.
