Opening Song: All Hail King Jesus by Jeremy Riddle, Peter Mattis, Ran Jackson, and Steffany GretzingerLyrics:There was a moment when the lights went outWhen death had claimed its victoryThe King of Love had given up His lifeThe darkest day in historyThere on a cross they made for sinnersFor every curse His blood atonedOne final breath and it was finishedBut not the end we could have knownFor the earth began to shakeAnd the veil was tornWhat sacrifice was madeAs the heavens roaredAll hail King JesusAll hail the Lord of Heaven and earthAll hail King JesusAll hail the Savior of the worldThere was a moment when the sky lit upA flash of light breaking throughWhen all was lost He crossed eternityThe King of life was on the moveFor in a dark cold tombWhere our Lord was laidOne miraculous breathAnd we're forever changedLet every knee come bow before the King of KingsLet every tongue confess that He is LordLift up your shout let us join with all of HeavenSinging HolySinging HolyCry out HolySinging HolyAll hail King JesusAll hail King JesusAll hail King JesusAll hail King JesusPassage: 5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God;11 for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.(Romans Musical Reflection: Bless the Lord, My Soul by Jacques BerthierReflection Notes: A contribution to the Taizé tradition, this tune by Berthier provides a reverent foundation for the text: “Bless the Lord, my soul, and bless God’s holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, who leads me into life.” Prayer:O God, because without you we are not able to please you, mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
