The one about a new verse for the week...

Matthew 20:26b-28

”But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

This is the verse I'm memorizing this week.

Yesterday was a great day. Mr. Folken...I can't call him by his first name, because I don't want to disrespect him, had an amazing set of songs lined up for morning worship. Most excellent.
One of the praise and worship team, (who shall remain nameless), told me I needed to stop showing so much emotion as I sang with the congregation. It was something else. Our Savior He's alive and well.
This song has also been going through my head all week. As I said before, I love "The Loving Kind"....here's the lyrics to this song that I love.
Oh and just for the record. I like the song Yahweh, but if I had my choice yesterday I would have sang "Praise the King" I would sing it every Resurrection Sunday if I could!

"Alive and Well"
Words by Cindy Morgan and Andrew Ramsey
Music by Michael W. Smith

Mark 16: 1-8

Who did you call Him
When the people ran to His strong healing hands
Do you know
Who did you call Him
When the children danced in the warmth of His glance
Do you know

You raised your voices in doubt
His blood is falling on you
Do you know

Chorus:
Shattered darkness brought the Light
Poured the blood and pierced the night
Sweet salvation shine the Light
My Savior He's alive and well
Shattered darkness brought the Light
Poured the blood and pierced the night
Sweet salvation shine the Light
My Savior He's alive

Who did you call Him
When He raised the dead and all of Hell's demons fled
Do you know
Who did you call Him
Did He demand your all and in your pride
Now you fall once again

I've touched the wounds in His side
And He dried the tears in my eyes
And He's Alive

(chorus)

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu, hallelujah
He's alive. hallelujah.

Do you believe it He's alive, He's alive and well
Shattered darkness brought the Light
Poured the blood and pierced the night
Oh won't you lift your voices and sing
Yeah sweet salvation

(chorus)
