Easter People - Christ is Risen From the Dead!

A week after Easter. The baskets and plastic eggs are stored, the last of the ham is (hopefully) gone. Jelly beans are 75% off at the grocery store. Is it all over?


How do we live as Easter people? 


Was this journey of 40 days that culminated in a week of shadows giving way to piercing light just a side trip? Or was it, could it be, the path we walk daily as a forgiven and loved people?

O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, He's alive, He's alive

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love

And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but Heaven's will
No scheme of Hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down

In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night

Sing it, o death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, He's alive, He's alive

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
