Mary's Song of Praise

"My heart praises the Lord:
my soul is glad because of God my Saviour,
for He has remembered me,
His lowly servant!
From now on all people will call me happy,
because of the great things the Mighty God has done for me.
His name is holy;
from one generation to another
He shows mercy to those who honor Him.
He has stretched out His mighty arm
and scattered the proud with all their plans.
He has brought down mighty kings from their thrones,
and lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and sent the rich away with empty hands.
He has kept the promise He made to our ancestors,
and has come to the help of His servant Israel.
He has remembered to show mercy to Abraham
and to all His descendants forever!"

- Luke 1:46-55 -

-- He Is Risen --

The angel said to the women,
"Do not be afraid,
for I know that you are looking for Jesus,
who was crucified. He is not here;
He has risen, just as He said."

The Empty Tomb

When they went to see the tomb
That blessed Easter day
They found the tomb was empty
And the stone was rolled away
For Jesus Christ had risen
Defeating death and sin
So won't you open up your heart
And ask the Saviour in

The Seven Last Words

Perhaps you have heard the phrase: "The Seven Last Words of Christ."
This really refers to the last seven sentences Christ spoke as he hung from the cross.
They are:
1.   "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)
2.   "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani" ("My God, my God, why have you forsakenme?)" (Matthew 27:46)
3.   He said to his mother, "Woman, behold your son!" Then he said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" (John 19:26-27)
4.   "I thirst!" (John 19:28)
5.   "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43)
6.   "It is finished!" (John 19:30)
7.   "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." (Luke 23:46)
