Church Service Song Lyrics

He Who Is Mighty

By Kate DeGraide and Rebecca Elliott

Verse 1

Oh, the mercy our God has shown

To those who sit in death’s shadow

The sun on high pierced the night

Born was the cornerstone

Pre-Chorus

Unto us a Son is given, unto us a child is born

Chorus

He Who is mighty has done a great thing

Taken on flesh, conquered death’s sting

Shattered the darkness and lifted our shame

Holy is His name

Verse 2

Oh, the freedom our Savior won,

The yoke of sin has been broken

Once a slave, now by grace
No more condemnation

Bridge

Now my soul magnifies the Lord

I rejoice in the God Who saves
I will trust His unfailing love
I will sing His praises all my days



O Come, O Come Emmanuel

By John Neale, Steve Cook, Bob Kauflin

Verse 1

O come, O come, Emmanuel,

And ransom captive Israel,

That mourns in lonely exile here,

Until the Son of God appear.

Chorus

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Verse 2

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free

Thine own from Satan’s tyranny;

From depths of hell Thy people save,

And give them victory o’er the grave.

Verse 3

O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer

Our spirits by thine advent here

And drive away the shades of night,

And death’s dark shadows put to flight.

Joy to the World

Music by George Frederic Handel

Words by Isaac Watts

Verse 1

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare him room,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

Verse 2

Joy to the world! the Saviour reigns;

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

Verse 3

No more let sins and sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as, the curse is found.

Verse 4

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders, of His love

Baptism Application for December 9

The Baptism will take place December 9 at 5:30pm immediately following our Sunday service.

Thanks for your desire to be baptized! We want to help make your baptism a meaningful public expression of your commitment and association with Jesus Christ both for you and for the Church gathered to witness it. In order to do that, please take a few minutes to fill out the following form. Please note that this application does not guarantee your slot in the chosen baptism date or time. We will send a confirmation email once approved.

Please write out a declaration of your faith and why you want to be baptized. You may submit this in written or electronic form by bringing it to the church office or emailing it to alex@RisenHopeChurch.org. Your faith story can be up to 4 minutes long when spoken. Consider that this is to be a public declaration of the effect of Jesus Christ in your life and your commitment and association with him. It will be helpful for you to reflect on: How you became aware of your sinfulness and your need for a Savior
How Christ brought you to repentance and faith
You might also include a few sentences that describe your life prior to Christ, how he revealed himself to you and then the effect of the gospel in your life. The pastors will review the thoughts you share and may make edits for clarity or for time considerations. We will send you a copy of the edited declaration to review. It is important to us that everyone feels that they are sharing their own words and experiences, and that it is clear for those who are witnessing your baptism. Please call into the church office if you have further questions.

GRACE and Race Fellowship

Risen Hope’s GRACE and Race Fellowship is helping our church discover understanding, empathy, and mutual commitment in love across the ethnic lines that normally divide. Joel and Tia work closely with our pastoral team to develop strategies for conversation (called Grace and Race Conversations), and to help us build into one another with humility and grace.
