Easter Cantata

You're all invited to my church's annual Easter Cantata this coming week! The performances will be Palm Sunday (March 24th at 10:30 am) and Good Friday (March 29th at 7:00 pm). This Cantata includes a large orchestra (with yours truly on the piano! :), drama cast, and full choir.

 

Once Upon a Tree is told through the life of Luke the physician as he writes the book of Luke. He tells of Jesus' last week before His crucifixion. The Cantata ends with a glorious song titled "The Song Lives On, Hallelujah!" speaking of how Jesus has risen and so we have hope in Christ! This dramatic presentation is something you'll not want to miss!

Writing about Easter reminds me of a song by Keith and Kristyn Getty titled "Christ is Risen, He has Risen Indeed!" I hope it blesses you during this time of rejoicing that our Savior is alive!

How can it be, the One who died,
Has born our sin through sacrifice
To conquer every sting of death?
Sing, sing hallelujah.

For joy awakes as dawning light
When Christ’s disciples lift their eyes.
Alive He stands, their Friend and King;
Christ, Christ He is risen.

CHORUS
Christ is risen, He is risen indeed!
Oh, sing hallelujah.
Join the chorus, sing with the redeemed;
Christ is risen, He is risen indeed.

Where doubt and darkness once had been,
They saw Him and their hearts believed.
But blessed are those who have not seen,
Yet, sing hallelujah.

Once bound by fear now bold in faith,
They preached the truth and power of grace.
And pouring out their lives they gained
Life, life everlasting.

CHORUS

The power that raised Him from the grave
Now works in us to powerfully save.
He frees our hearts to live His grace;
Go tell of His goodness.
