He is Risen!
Happy Easter and welcome to CHRIST United Methodist Church's Easter Sunrise service on the beach! We are excited to gather together as a community to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the hope and renewal that it brings.
As morning breaks over the ocean, you're invited to engage however you feel most comfortable. We will sing hymns, which you can find below, and hear a message of hope and inspiration. This service is open to all, and we invite you to share in this beautiful and meaningful experience.
We would love to meet you this morning, and see you again at any of our upcoming gatherings! You can see some of the events we have coming up at the bottom of the page. We are grateful to be on the journey with you!
Up From the Grave He Arose
Verse 1
Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior
Waiting for the coming day, Jesus my Lord
Up from the grave He arose
With a mighty triumph o’er his foes
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
and He lives forever, with his saints to reign
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Verse 2
Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!
Up from the grave He arose
With a mighty triumph o’er his foes
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
and He lives forever, with his saints to reign
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Christ the Lord is Risen Today
Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia
Sing ye heavens and earth reply, Alleluia
Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia
Fought the fight the battle won, Alleluia
Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia
Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia
How He Loves
Verse 1
He is jealous for me loves like a hurricane
I am a tree bending beneath
The weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden I am unaware of
These afflictions eclipsed by glory
I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me
Pre-Chorus
Oh how He loves us so
Oh how He loves us
How He loves us so
Verse 1
He is jealous for me loves like a hurricane
I am a tree bending beneath
The weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden I am unaware of
These afflictions eclipsed by glory
I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
(Yeah) He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves us
Oh how He loves
(REPEAT)
Verse 2
We are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking
So Heaven meets earth
Like a sloppy wet (unforeseen) kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way that
Chorus x2
Because He Lives
Verse 1
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives.
Great Things
Come let us worship our King
Come let us bow at His feet
He has done great things
See what our Savior has done
See how His love overcomes
He has done great things
He has done great things
O Hero of Heaven, You conquered the grave
You ree every captive and break every chain
O God, You have done great things
We dance in Your freedom awake and alive
O Jesus our Savior Your name lifted high
O God You have done great things.
You’ve been faithful through every storm
You’ll be faithful forever more
You have done great things
And I know You will do it again
For Your promise is yes and amen
You will do great things
God, You do great things
O Hero of Heaven, You conquered the grave
You ree every captive and break every chain
O God, You have done great things
We dance in Your freedom awake and alive
O Jesus our Savior Your name lifted high
O God You have done great things.
Hallelujah God, above it all
Hallelujah God, unshakable
Hallelujah, You have done great things
Hallelujah God, above it all
Hallelujah God, unshakable
Hallelujah, You have done great things
You’ve done great things
Resurrecting
The head that once was crowned with thorns is crowned with glory now.
The Savior knelt to wash our feet; now at His feet we bow.
The One Who wore our sin and shame now robed in majesty.
The radiance of perfect love now shines for all to see.
Your name, Your name is victory.
All praise will rise to Christ our King.
Your name, Your name is victory.
All praise will rise to Christ our King.
The fear that held us now gives way to Him Who is our peace.
His final breath upon the cross is now alive in me.
The tomb where soldiers watched in vain
Was borrowed for three days.
His body there would not remain.
Our God has robbed the grave.
Our God has robbed the grave.
Your name, Your name is victory.
All praise will rise to Christ our King.
Your name, Your name is victory.
All praise will rise to Christ our King.
