A Resurrection Sunday Presentation of the Power of Christ.

Luke 24:6-7 - He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”

Hymn: More About Jesus, By: Eliza E. Hewitt

More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

Refrain:
More, more about Jesus,
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

More about Jesus let me learn,
More of His holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.
More about Jesus, in His Word,
Holding communion with my Lord;
Hearing His voice in every line,
Making each faithful saying mine.
More about Jesus on His throne,
Riches in glory all His own;
More of His kingdom’s sure increase;
More of His coming, Prince of Peace.

Salmo Quince

 1 Quién, Señor, puede habitar en tu santuario?
     ¿Quién puede vivir en tu santo monte?
 2 Solo el de conducta intachable,
     que practica la justicia
     y de corazón dice la verdad;
 3 que no calumnia con la lengua,
     que no le hace mal a su prójimo
     ni le acarrea desgracias a su vecino;
 4 que desprecia al que Dios reprueba,
     pero honra al que teme al Señor;
    que cumple lo prometido
     aunque salga perjudicado;
 5 que presta dinero sin ánimo de lucro,
     y no acepta sobornos que afecten al inocente.

El que así actúa no caerá jamás.

Psalm 15

1 Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
     Who may live on your holy mountain?
2 The one whose walk is blameless,
     who does what is righteous,
     who speaks the truth from their heart;
 3 whose tongue utters no slander,
     who does no wrong to a neighbor,
     and casts no slur on others;
 4 who despises a vile person
     but honors those who fear the Lord;
    who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
     and does not change their mind;
 5 who lends money to the poor without interest;
     who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.

Whoever does these things
     will never be shaken.

We Wear the Mask, By: Paul Laurence Dunbar

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,-
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be overwise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

The Old Rugged Cross, By: George Bennard

On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross
The emblem of suff'ring and shame
And I love that old Cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
Oh, that old rugged Cross so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God, left his Glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary
So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

Sonnet 43: How Do I Love Thee? - Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]  By: E.E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Psalm 8

For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David.

 1 Lord, our Lord,
     how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
     in the heavens.
 2 Through the praise of children and infants
     you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
     to silence the foe and the avenger.
 3 When I consider your heavens,
     the work of your fingers,
 the moon and the stars,
     which you have set in place,
 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
     human beings that you care for them?
5 You have made them a little lower than the angels
     and crowned them with glory and honor.
 6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
     you put everything under their feet:
 7 all flocks and herds,
     and the animals of the wild,
 8 the birds in the sky,
     and the fish in the sea,
     all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 Lord, our Lord,
     how majestic is your name in all the earth!
