WERE YOU THERE
Were you there when they 
crucified my Lord? x2
Oh, sometimes it causes me to 
tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they 
crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they 
nailed him to the tree? x2
Oh, sometimes it causes me to 
tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they 
nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they 
laid him in the tomb? x2
Oh, sometimes it causes me to 
tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they 
laid him in the tomb? x2
Oh, sometimes it causes me to 
tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when God 
raised him from the tomb?

FOREVER (WE SING HALLELUJAH)
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
Forever, He is glorified
Forever, He is lifted high
Forever, He is risen
He is alive, He is alive
We sing hallelujah x3
The Lamb has overcome

IN CHRIST ALONE
In Christ alone, 
my hope is found
He is my light, 
my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, 
this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest 
drought and storm
What heights of love, 
what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, 
when strivings cease
My Comforter, 
my All in All
Here in the love of 
Christ I stand
In Christ alone, 
who took on flesh
Fullness of God 
in helpless babe
This gift of love 
and righteousness
Scorned by the ones 
He came to save
'Til on that cross 
as Jesus died
The love of God 
was magnified
For every sin 
on Him was laid
Here in the death 
of Christ I live
There in the ground 
His body layLight of the world 
by darkness slain
Then bursting forth 
in glorious Day
Up from the grave 
He rose again
And as He stands 
in victory
Sin's curse has lost 
its grip on me
For I am His 
and He is mine
Bought with the precious 
blood of Christ
No guilt in life, 
no fear in death
This is the power 
of Christ in me
From life's first cry 
to final breath
Jesus commands 
my destiny
No power of hell, 
no scheme of man
Can ever pluck 
me from His hand
Till He returns 
or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

- SCRIPTURE -
John 20:1-18 (NIV)

20
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

Death Was Arrested
Alone in my sorrow 
and dead in my sin
Lost without hope 
with no place to begin
Your love Made a way 
to let mercy come in
When death was arrested 
and my life began
Ash was redeemed 
only beauty remains
My orphan heart 
was given a name
My mourning grew 
quiet my feet rose to dance
When death was arrested 
and my life began
Oh, Your grace so free
Washes over me
You have made me new
Now life begins with You
Released from my chains 
I'm a prisoner no more
My shame was a ransom 
He faithfully bore
He cancelled my debt 
and He called me His friend
When death was arrested 
and my life began
Oh, Your grace so free
Washes over me
You have made me new
Now life begins with You
It's your endless love
Pouring down on us
You have made us new
Now life begins with You
Our savior displayed 
on a criminal's cross
Darkness rejoiced as though 
heaven had lost
But then Jesus arose 
with our freedom in hand
That's when death was 
arrested and my life began
Oh, Your grace so free
Washes over me
You have made me new
Now life begins with You
It's your endless love
Pouring down on us
You have made us new
Now life begins with You
Oh, we're free, free
Forever we're free
Come join the song
Of all the redeemed
Yes, we're free free
Forever amen
When death was arrested 
and my life began
Oh, we're free, free
Forever we're free
Come join the song
Of all the redeemed
Yes, we're free free
Forever amen
When death was arrested
and my life began
