Happy Day
Verse 1
The greatest day in history
Death is beaten You have rescued me
Sing it out Jesus is alive
The empty cross the empty grave
Life eternal You have won the day
Shout it out Jesus is alive
He’s alive
Chorus
And oh happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh happy day, happy day
I’ll never be the same
Forever I am changed
Verse 2
When I stand in that place
Free at last meeting face to face
I am Yours, Jesus You are mine
Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate, Jesus is alive
He’s alive
Bridge
Oh, what a glorious day
What a glorious way
That You have saved me
And oh, what a glorious day
What a glorious name, Yeah

Reading from Mark 15:22-39
Chris Aldridge, St Mark’s Holbrook
O Praise The Name (Anástasis)
Verse 1
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet
My Saviour on that cursed tree
Verse 2
His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid Him down in Joseph’s tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone
Chorus
O praise the Name of the Lord our God
O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God
Verse 3
Then on the third at break of dawn
The Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death where is your sting
The angels roar for Christ the King
Verse 4
He shall return in robes of white
The blazing sun shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face

Mighty to Save
Chorus
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Prayer
Pastor Joyce Nduka
Living Faith Assembly
King Of Kings
Verse 1
In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope, without light
Till from Heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfil the law and prophets
To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt
Chorus
Praise the Father
Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of Glory
Majesty
Praise forever to the King of kings
Verse 2
To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died
Verse 3
And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored
Verse 4
And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this Gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel, shall not faint
By His blood and in His Name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me

Worthy
Verse 1
It was my cross You bore
So I could live in the freedom You died for
And now my life is Yours
And I will sing of Your goodness forevermore
Chorus
Worthy is Your name Jesus
You deserve the praise,
worthy is Your name
Worthy is Your name Jesus
You deserve the praise,
worthy is Your name
Verse 2
And now my shame is gone
I stand amazed in Your love undeniable
Your grace goes on and on
And I will sing of Your goodness forevermore
Bridge
Be exalted now in the heavens
As Your glory fills this place
You alone deserve our praise
You’re the name above all names

Gospel Message
Rt Revd Ruth Bushyager, Bishop of Horsham
Forever (We Sing Hallelujah)
Verse 1
The moon and stars they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Savior of the world was fallen
His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon Him
Verse 2
One final breath He gave
As heaven looked away
The Son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave
The war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken
Pre-Chorus
The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love could not be overcome
Now death where is your sting?
Our resurrected King has rendered you defeated
Chorus
Forever He is glorified
Forever He is lifted high
Forever He is risen
He is alive, He is alive
Bridge
We sing hallelujah, we sing hallelujah
We sing hallelujah, the Lamb has overcome

It Really Is Amazing Grace
Verse 1
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I’m found
Was blind but now I see
Chorus
Singing Hallelujah
There’s no chains on me
Thank You Jesus
You have set me free
You welcomed me in
Called me by name
Was dead in my sin
Now I’m dancing on that grave
Hallelujah, it really is amazing grace
Verse 2
‘Twas grace that taught
My heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did
That grace appear
The hour I first believed
Bridge
I’ll testify
Of what He did
He gave me life
I’m born again
My heart is free
My soul is saved
It really is amazing grace
