JESUS IS ALIVE MUSICAL OVERVIEW
CHOIR: Worthy the Lamb by Gaither’s Band CD Soundtrack 4
(Organ Music begins: “Because He Lives” chorus only)
Narrator 1:
Alleluia! Jesus is alive! Because He lives we can face tomorrow with him.
One day, we will spend an eternity in His presence. We welcome you today
this Easter Sunday to celebrate the greatest sacrifice that He has ever done
for us. He came because He loved us. He knew it would not be an easy path
that would lead him to the cross and then a tomb. Yet He willingly choose
this road for you and me. "And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, Jesus
and two disciples, the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried,
saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the
name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."
CHOIR: Worthy Is the Lamb by Darlene Zschech CD Soundtrack 5
(Organ Music begins: Break Thou the Bread of Life)
Narrator 2:
There were no hosannas as Jesus approached the time of his death. There
were no shouts of praises when he was taken in the garden or as he stood
before Pilate." And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it,
and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my
body. And he took the cup, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood
which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Let not your heart be
troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me."
CHOIR: How Beautiful by Twila Paris CD Soundtrack 3
(Organ Music begins: The Old Rugged Cross)
Narrator 3:
After the meal with His disciples, Jesus needed to be alone. He prayed in
the garden, not my will but Thine. Then the soldiers of the governor took
Jesus and they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. They placed a
crown of thorns upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they
bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the
Jews! They spit upon him, and smote him on the head, took his robe off
from him, and led him away to crucify him. Yet through it all, He prayed yet
again, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."
CHOIR: Lamb of God by Twila Paris CD Soundtrack 3
(Organ Music begins: It is Finished)
Narrator 4:
Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that
Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine
vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk
of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the
drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up
his spirit. These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled.
He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. He is risen!
Jesus is alive!
CHOIR: Guilty of Love by Beyond the Ashes CD Soundtrack 3
(Organ Music begins: I Will Praise Him – chorus only)
Narrator 5:
"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? But thanks
be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

WORTHY THE LAMB
Verse 1 SOLO
Hear the cries of the shackled from the onset of time,
For the chains of defeat there's no key.
See the tears of the broken, the cries of the slaves:
Is there no one worthy to set us free?
Verse 2 SOLO Then the crying is stilled as the chorus rings out,
The shackled released from their chains.
And thousands of voices are swelling the song:
Worthy the Lamb that was slain.
ALL
Worthy, worthy, Worthy the Lamb that was slain
Worthy, worthy, Worthy the Lamb that was slain
Verse 3 SOLO
Then all the archangels, the saints of all time,
Holding their crowns in their hands,
Fall down before Him joining the song:
Worthy, worthy the Lamb!
ALL Worthy, worthy, Worthy the Lamb that was slain
Worthy, worthy, Worthy the Lamb that was slain
Praise Him, praise Him, Praise the Lamb that was slain Praise Him,
praise Him, Praise the Lamb that was slain Praise the Lamb that was
slain.

Worthy is the Lamb by Darlene Zschech
Thank you for the cross, Lord.
Thank you for the price you paid.
Bearing all my sin and shame, in love you came
And gave Amazing Grace.
Thank you for this love, Lord.
Thank you for the nail-pierced hands.
Wash me in Your cleansing flow, now all I know...
Your forgiveness and embrace.
Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne.
We crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious!
High and lifted up
Jesus, Son of God.
The darling of Heaven, crucified...
Worthy is the Lamb.
Worthy is the Lamb.

HOW BEAUTIFUL
How beautiful the hands that served
The wine and the bread and the sons of the earth
How beautiful the feet that walked
The long dusty roads and the hill to the cross
How beautiful, how beautiful
How beautiful is the body of Christ
How beautiful the heart that bled
That took all my sin and bore it instead
How beautiful the tender eyes, That chose to forgive and never despise
How beautiful, how beautiful, How beautiful is the body of Christ
And as He laid down His life, We offer this sacrifice
That we will live just as he died, Willing to pay the price
Willing to pay the price
How beautiful the radiant bride
Who waits for her groom with His light in her eyes
How beautiful when humble hearts give
The fruit of pure lives so that others may live
How beautiful, how beautiful, How beautiful is the body of Christ
How beautiful the feet that bring
The sound of good news and the love of the King
How beautiful the hands that serve
The wine and the bread and the sons of the earth,
How beautiful, how beautiful, How beautiful is the body of Christ

LAMB OF GOD
SOLO FEMALE
Your only Son, no sin to hide
But You have sent Him from Your side
To walk upon this guilty sod
And to become the Lamb of God
SOLO MALE
Your gift of love, they crucified
They laughed and scorned Him as He died
The humble King, they named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God
ALL PARTS
Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God
I love the holy Lamb of God
Oh, wash me in His precious blood
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
ALL SOPRANO
I was so lost, I should have died
But You have brought me to Your side
To be led by Your staff and rod
And to be called a lamb of God

“Guilty of Love”
1st Verse: SOLO
Judas led the soldiers to the garden where He prayed
Jesus was arrested by the ones He came to save
Swords and clubs and angry words were coming from all sides
Jesus only saw the broken hearts of his accusers that night
Chorus:
He was guilty of compassion
For the lonely and the weak
Guilty of forgiving
And setting prisoners free
Guilty of believing
The highest price was not too much
But most of all
The sinless lamb of God
Was guilty of love
2nd Verse: SOLO
Pilate said of Jesus, “I find no fault in this man”
Still the crowd said, “Crucify!” and would not understand
Pilate washed his hands and then he set Barrabas free
Jesus was their only hope, but they were too hard-hearted to see
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:
Love that sees the best inside the worst of us
Love that did what no one would have done
He paid with his own blood
(Repeat Chorus)
The Holy, Spotless, Worthy Lamb of God
Was guilty of love
Guilty of love.
