Jesus comes to see the disciples again a week after his resurrection, and encounters an old friend.

Join us this morning for worship, whether online via video streaming or in our sanctuary! We celebrate this Easter season as a real community, wherever we may be.

Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness

Praise the One who breaks the darkness
With a liberating light.
Praise the One who frees the prisoners,
Turning blindness into sight.
Praise the One who preached the gospel,
Healing every dread disease,
Calming storms and feeding thousands
With the very bread of peace.

Praise the One who blessed the children
With a strong yet gentle word
Praise the One who drove out demons
With a piercing tow-edged sword.
Praise the One who brings cool water
to the desert’s burning sand.
From this well comes living water
Quenching thirst in every land.

Praise the one true love in carnate:
Christ, who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose for many
That we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
Seeing what our God has done.
Praise the one redeeming glory;
Praise the One who makes us one.

Be Still, My Soul

Be still my soul: the Lord is on your side!
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to your God to order and provide
In every change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.  

Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
To guide the future as he has the past;
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.

Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
