Happy Easter!
The joy of God and man has been fulfilled; praise He
Who satisfied salvation's plan and won the victory
Death and hell overthrown; no power could prevail
To thwart the will of He whose love and mercy cannot fail
Come, join the worship hymn that nevermore will cease
Hail He who clothes all who believe in righteousness and peace
The hope of man abides; Christ's sorrow, not in vain
He who bore our suffering; He who took up our pain
He who was pierced and crushed for our iniquity
Through his wounds we are healed; Praise He who sets death's captives free
Though hatred sought to scorn His glory with a cross
His glory increased all the more beneath love's albatross
The love of God transcends the schemes of Satan's vice
He gave His Son to be sin's everlasting sacrifice
Ah, what more do we need than love, mighty to save
Than He who broke the curse of Adam's seed and robbed the grave
Come, join the worship hymn lest the stones start to sing
Exalt the Name of Jesus Christ, our Saviour, Lord and King
Janet Martin
Rom.8:31-39
God’s Everlasting Love
31 What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all,
how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen,
who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation,
or distress,
or persecution,
or famine,
or nakedness,
or peril,
or sword?
36 As it is written:
“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
nor angels nor principalities nor powers,
nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth,
nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
