Resurrection Sunday

Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24 paraphrased by Pastor William

Oh God, you are the greatest;

        you love us no matter what.

Let everyone say it together;

        you love us no matter what.

I get my strength from God;

        It is God’s grace that saves me.

I sing songs of joy and victory;

        fearlessly, God defends me,

I will not die, but live!

        For God will see to it.

I deserve punishment for my behavior,

        but God gives me life.

Fling wide your gate;

        I want to come in.

Jesus is the gate;

        all are permitted entry.

You answered my cries for help;

        you saved me from danger.

You made today for living;

        we delight in it.

Save us, we cry;

        you hear us, it is done.

The world rejected you,

        but you are our foundation.

Salvation is God’s doing,

        it is a sight to behold!

This is the day God has made;

        let us celebrate with joy!
