Sin has overwhelmed us
Each one dead in their trespass and sin
Christ has made it possible for our forgiveness
God has met our desperate need

Joseph of Arimethaea a member of the Sanhedrin
Had covertly followed Jesus
At the Cross Joseph changed
He knew the sacrifice Jesus had made

Defying his fears
Joseph asked Pilate for the body of Jesus
Pilate marveled that He was dead
Joseph laid Him in his own tomb-grief stricken Joseph rolled the stone in place

Sunday morning the women came to anoint the body of Jesus
The stone was rolled away
Looking in the tomb they saw a young man sitting to the right-DO NOT FEAR
Jesus who was crucified has risen-go tell

Good news-my Savior died for you and me
A perfect life-a perfect death
Raised from the dead by the power of God
Jesus is alive and well-Good news for you and me

Jesus submitted Himself to the establishment
Abused by the leaders who swore to do God’s will
They lied and cheated the system
Abusing Jesus they convicted Him and delivered Him to Pilate

Jesus knew what would happen
Willingly He accepted the road to the Cross
He knew our sin; it destroyed Him
His heart near bursting as He paid the price

We couldn’t pay the price;
We would scream our innocence
Innocent of this charge but guilty of sin
Only Jesus could win our freedom; Christ would die for you and me

Thursday night they rigged the trial
Early Friday morning He endured the Sanhedrin
Then to Pilate and Herod and back to Pilate who judged Him innocent but was afraid to free Him
They beat and beat and beat Jesus and walked Him to the Cross where He willingly died

Christ stood the test
His life a sacrifice; His death a victory
Buying our pardon; His work offers life for free
Judged by God; guilty of love

Jesus sweated drops of blood
His pain for our sin
His agony complete
Christ knew what was ahead
He felt the loneliness we feel and yet without sin
Adam yielded to Satan
Jesus yielded to God

My life has been and is filled with sin
Even though I seek to grow
It’s always a struggle to do God’s will
Self is in the know; it shuns the surrendered path

Jesus labored long and hard that night
On Gethsemane Christ did what was right
He did the Father’s will
God in Christ fulfilled our need
Jesus would walk to Calvary
He would call on the Father for strength
Knowing he would be beaten beyond belief
Even when I was dead in sin
Christ had faith His work would win

Victory in Jesus
The battle won for you and me
His time at Gethsemane
Rang victory over Calvary
Thy will be done
Said the Son
And it was done

The Gospel of Mark presents the activities of Jesus
Fast paced, not concerned about the finer points of theology
Just the facts please
All about what Jesus did

Christ came preaching salvation
Repent and believe in the Gospel
Change your mind, change your direction
The Lord is alive and He loves you –

Turn away from your sin
Don’t try to hold your sin with one hand and hold on to Jesus with the other
It won’t work – Our Lord is a jealous God and He wants us
Service and obedience – one master – one way

Turn to Jesus – It is a different way than we have walked in the past
Christ is calling us to believe in Him and live in His family
Jesus will meet your needs, He will not leave you alone
Christ is all and in all – He is the almighty God

Christ is calling soul winners; others need Jesus just as much as you and me
The first thing the Apostles did after Jesus saved them was share their faith
They faithfully shared about what Jesus had done in their heart
When we know Jesus we want to tell everyone about HIM

Christ is healing physically, emotionally and spiritually
The rabbis fussed about how to wash cups
Jesus threw demons out of the possessed
Christ was concerned about people; religion is concerned about things

Sin is the separator; all have sinned
Sin is despicable, evil, destructive, preying on mankind
Christ forgives our sin; He came seeking our best good
Jesus is victorious over sin; Christ brings us into the Family of God

JESUS the suffering servant, came to minister not be ministered too
His love so great He gave His life, while I was still dead in my sin
Christ was a real person and the power of God, He led a perfect life
Serving by faith, walking by faith, living by faith, dying by faith
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, there is just something about HIS name

Announced by John the Baptist, a voice crying in the wilderness
Proclaiming the Lord was coming; prepare, prepare, prepare
Repent you sinful people, sin is serious, sin is horrible, it destroys us unto eternity
Look in the mirror, that is the sinner, that is the one that needs to change
Repent and be baptized, bearing testimony of the change in your life

John had no power to save, I am unworthy to untie His sandals
God is the ONE, the Christ will have the power to save
We will see Him and He will give us His power to live our life
You can be God’s child, you can live a life like Him
For He will come and give us new life, He is gentle and kind and God

Jesus walked 70 miles to be baptized by John, to be consecrated, annointed
The Son came up out of the water, the Holy Spirit came out of the sky
The Father spoke: YOU are my beloved Son, You give me great JOY
Christ came to seek and save the lost, He was looking for me and you
In Christ we stand and live and breathe, He is Lord of all and our Lord

The Dove anointed the Devil sought to destroy, Christ was able to stand
Forty days He staid in the wilderness, facing temptation we can only imagine, thank God
Ten thousand times Satan whispered GO AHEAD, no one will know
Alone His character shone thru, what kind of character do you have when alone?
A tempted Christ can understand tempted people, Jesus loves you

This is the GOOD NEWS: Jesus is the powerful, loving Son of God
He can meet your needs
He can solve your problems
He can change your life
Let Jesus have your heart, ask Him into your life, He is the only way to the Father, He is Lord.
