Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. 5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” 8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. (Matthew 28:1-8)
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. (Romans 8:11)
Rejoice as you listen to: Nothing Ever Can, Nothing Ever Will
Lyrics:
1) Every power on earth and in heaven
Is a shadow in His light,
No authority, law or government
Challenges His sovereign might.
His reign and rule have no boundary,
All that is, His hands have wrought.
Nothing ever can, nothing ever will
Overcome the Lord our God.
2) We are well aware we were orphans once,
Bent and broken in our shame,
Then He sought us out and adopted us,
Now we bear His royal name.
Every sin or crime we have ever done
Is no match for Jesus’ blood.
Nothing ever can, nothing ever will
Overcome the Lord, our God.
3) We are rescued out of darkest night,
Freed from Satan’s evil hold
And the kingdom of our Savior’s light
Is our soul’s eternal home.
Though the enemy tries to steal and kill
What the death of Christ has bought
Nothing ever can, nothing ever will
Overcome the Lord, our God.
Bridge
Our God is victorious,
He always wins! He always wins!
In love He reigns over us,
He always wins! He always wins!
4) We, the Church, declare: Jesus Christ is King,
For He conquered death once for all.
We will live in light of His victory
Following His gospel call.
And when the story ends we know Jesus wins,
For His power cannot be stopped.
Nothing ever can, nothing ever will
Overcome the Lord, our God.
Nothing ever can, nothing ever will
Overcome the Lord, our God.
