00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.280
Welcome to the Scriptured Music and Message Hour, where the truth of God's Word comes alive through music that speaks to the heart.
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:15.279
I'm glad you're with us today because this is a special program as we celebrate Easter, the moment that changed everything for all of us.
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.440
This is the day that reminds us that the story didn't end at the cross.
00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.320
What looked like defeat became the greatest victory the world has ever known.
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:31.920
The stone was rolled away, the grave was empty, and Jesus rose again just as he said he would.
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.520
And because he lives, everything changes.
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.640
Because he lives, we are not defined by our past.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.359
We are not held down by our failures.
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.039
We are not without hope.
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:48.640
Through him, we are forgiven, restored, and redeemed.
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:55.759
That word redeemed means we've been brought back, given a new life, and given a new song to sing.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.280
And that's exactly what this first song is all about.
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.520
A celebration of what God has done and who we are because of it.
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.599
Sing the songs of every day.
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:04.719
Easter tells us we've been redeemed.
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.199
But that story didn't start at the cross.
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:09.759
And it didn't start at the empty tomb.
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:12.800
It started quietly, humbly.
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.519
Before the miracle of the resurrection, it was the miracle of his arrival.
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.240
And maybe that is something we all need to remember.
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.879
Because sometimes God does his greatest work in the quiet moments of our lives.
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.959
When we leave it, when everything feels ill.
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.199
It's in those moments that his light begins to break through.
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.680
And that is what this next one captures so beautifully.
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.240
The beginning of hope, the arrival of light in a dark world.
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:29.519
Before the cry, before the star, there was a hush across the dark, the world asleep, the sky so still, yet heaven moved to do God's will.
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:54.639
A virgin laid her heart aglow the promise whispered long ago, light in the sides, hope in the night, breaking the darkness with holy delight.
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:04.319
God in the shadows, drawing in you, Emmanuel's heart.
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:07.600
Love conquers fear.
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:36.319
No palace bright, just cattle low and lantern light.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:01.279
Who I would find the King of Kings through humble signs.
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:13.839
Light in the side, open the night, breaking the darkness, with holy light.
00:07:15.120 --> 00:08:07.360
God in the shots, drawing near Anywhere's heart of conquered fear I think Lord made it clear Jesus is born and heaven is here From prophet scrolls to Mary's hands The sacred story made flesh with stand Not with the sword but grace or white The Savior came in time device what once was dim, now shines so bright, forever changed by infinite light.
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:42.240
Light in the soft open the eye, breaking the darkness with holy delight God in the shadow strong dear Emmanuel's heartbeat Love conquers fear Light in the silence, the word made clear Jesus is born.
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:50.559
From that humble beginning, Jesus grew, not in a palace not surrounded by power, but in an ordinary life.
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:58.879
He lived among people, he worked with his hands, he understood what it meant to walk through daily life just like we do.
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.320
The Bible tells us that he was known as the carpenter's son.
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:03.919
Think about that.
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.200
The Savior of the world chose a life of simplicity.
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.759
He experienced growth, learning, and the rhythm of everyday work.
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:13.279
And that matters.
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:27.919
Because it means that he understands us, he understands our routines, our struggles, our responsibilities, he is not evident, he is not removed, he is adapting to our world holiday.
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.399
And this next one brings that part of his life into focus.
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:40.240
The years before the ministry, before the miracles, when he was simply known as a young man with a purpose.
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:17.919
The boy with wisdom, calm and wise, holding heaven behind his eyes.
00:10:47.120 --> 00:11:01.600
No throat inside, just love in his hands, and graced it is life, son of the carpenter, gentle and true.
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:06.960
The world had no clue what he came here to.
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:32.320
Yet for the wade of every day.
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:51.039
A humble home, a holy fire, a heart that burned with God is eye, son of the cup of death, quiet in the straw.
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:57.200
Living the promise to work in his own.
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:16.320
Just love it's head, grace in his life, son of the carpenter, gentle and true.
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:22.080
The world had no clue what he came here to do.
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:35.039
He knew the cross, he knew the pain, but chose the nails, embraced the shame.
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:47.200
He laid his power down to serve and gave us more than we deserved.
00:12:55.200 --> 00:13:15.840
The builder of hope, the restorer of dreams, he carved a path through darkest night to raise the dead, give them light, Son of a carpenter.
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:25.039
Now we believe the Savior who was shaping eternity.
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:43.360
A powerful reminder that Jesus stepped into ordinary life before he stepped into his calling.
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:48.399
But before his ministry began, there was someone sent ahead to prepare the way.
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.320
Not in the cities, not in the temple, but in the wilderness.
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.200
He didn't come with comfort, he came with truth.
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:11.440
He called people to repentance to turn back to God, to prepare for something greater that was coming.
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.240
And his message is delivered today.
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:22.480
Because before we can fully receive what God wanted to do in our lives, we have to be willing to listen to clear the way.
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:27.519
And that's what this next song is all about.
00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:02.240
Clothed in truth, rough and raw, a prophet crying out the law.
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:06.799
He said, Make way, prepare your soul.
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:10.799
The one is near, the time for told.
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:18.000
The Jordan flow, the heaven star, the land of fear, and all heart.
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.240
There's a voice out of the floor.
00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:26.159
Behold the land.
00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:36.240
The sky split over the father's love.
00:15:53.440 --> 00:16:04.639
Crowds came running sooner to the lost, the broken, the faithless view didn't preach soft, didn't play games.
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:10.320
He called them out and spoke to the name of the gold.
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:16.320
He was the light he must increase for a fade from the side.
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:32.079
Baptized water, stone blood and pain, but grace was arising from holy right.
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.480
And the love has come to rescue men.
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:14.319
And when the time came, Jesus stepped into his ministry, not with force, not with status, but with authority, with compassion and truth.
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:21.920
He came to heal the broken word of the Lord.
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:41.839
The kingdom wasn't just something he cared.
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:43.839
It was something he carried with.
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:19.599
Touched the blind and they could see his face.
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:50.160
Not thrones of gold, but healing palms that touch the soul.
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:57.279
No army came, no banners raised, just mercy walking through our days.
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.359
The kingdoms in his hands.
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:53.359
Not so The Broken Bread.
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:10.960
A carpenter son with dust on his feet was building a kingdom you couldn't defeat.
00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:19.680
The kingdom's in his hands scarred it alive.
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.599
And in those wounds the world survives.
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:36.240
He built it now with bricks and stones, but with the hearts he made it so broken.
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:50.880
As the story of Jesus moves closer to the cross, everything becomes more personal, more intense, more focused.
00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:54.400
It leads to a quiet place called Gethsemane.
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:59.519
No crowds, no noise, just a moment between the Son and the Father.
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:06.160
Here, we see the full weight of what was ahead, the suffering, the sacrifice, the cost of redemption.
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.160
And in that moment, Jesus does something that speaks to all of us.
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:14.640
He prays not to escape, but to surrender.
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.799
Not my will, thine to be done.
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:21.680
That kind of surrender isn't easy.
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:27.200
It means trusting God even when the path is difficult, even when the outcome is uncertain.
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:30.240
But it's in surrender that strength is found.
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.200
It's in surrender that purpose is fulfilled.
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.799
And it's in surrender that God's plan moves forward.
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:43.119
This next song takes us into that sacred moment where everything was placed in God's hands.
00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:45.519
Here's the Garden of Surrender.
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:08.480
And angels watch him cry.
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:15.359
The weight of all the world is pressing on his chest.
00:24:16.160 --> 00:24:22.240
He whispers, Father, take this cup if you think it's best.
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:29.200
But still he stays, though sweat turns red.
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:35.039
He bows his heart where angels tread.
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:42.400
In the garden of surrender, he laid his will down low.
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.440
Love raped in sorrow.
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:58.000
The battle was lost before it was won.
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:03.920
In the silence of that midnight hour, he gave the cross his hand.
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:19.839
The ones he loved were fast asleep, their faith too tired to stand.
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:27.279
But mercy stayed awake and held the plan in nail scarred hands.
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:34.240
He saw the kids, he felt the sword, he heard the traitors cry.
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:40.000
And still he rose to meet the pain and chose to die.
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:44.559
No air to try.
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:47.920
No lining fall.
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:02.640
In the will download.
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:16.640
The battle was a lot.
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:21.839
The bottom was a water so fast it died out.
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:24.720
He gave the cross its own.
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:30.079
Could have walked away.
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:51.680
But Grace chose the grace of God and all the way Crushing and still faithful.
00:26:52.799 --> 00:27:00.640
The seed that would be so None my will but thine be done.
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.079
The victory whispered through what must come.
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:10.400
And in that holy tears stay ground, our redemption was found.
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.759
Every step of that hell was a step that poured redemption.
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:04.079
Every moment on that cross was a moment of grace being poured out.
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:06.799
It wasn't the nails that held him there.
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:07.920
It was his love.
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:14.240
And in what looked like the darkest moment, God was accomplishing the greatest victory.
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:21.039
A way was being made, and hope was being secured for all who believed.
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:26.319
This next song takes us to that place where everything changed.
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:28.880
Here's the hill called Calvary.
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:13.839
On the hill they called his shame.
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:19.279
On the hill called Calverney.
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:38.880
They pierced his hands, they cursed his name, but still he loved through all the flame.
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:11.680
The nails went in, the earth stood still, the wrath of man, the fathers will the thief beside the mocking crowd, but not a word he cried aloud.
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.279
He bore it all from dark to toilet.
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.720
And turned the wrath of God to try.
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:27.920
On the hill called Cowering.
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:32.400
Grace went down like grace.
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:35.359
The perfect leaven.
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:51.519
He gave his life for the vale from high.
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:35.200
But heaven knew the price was paid.
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:44.960
On the hill called Calvary, redemption touched the crowd.
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:54.400
The cross was crucial.
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:18.880
The resurrection isn't just a moment we remember.
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:21.440
It's a reality that changes everything.
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:26.559
Because when the women came to the tomb that morning, they expected to find a body.
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.039
Instead, they found an empty grave.
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:32.400
That empty grave is more than a detail in the story.
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:33.359
It's the proof.
00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:35.759
Proof that death has been defeated.
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:38.799
Proof that sin no longer has the final word.
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:42.720
Proof that Jesus is exactly who he said he is.
00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:45.519
And that means something for each of us today.
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:47.920
It means we don't have to live in fear.
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:49.759
We don't have to live in defeat.
00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:53.680
We can live in freedom, in hope, in new life.
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:58.240
Because the grave is empty and Jesus is alive.
00:32:58.559 --> 00:33:04.799
And this next song captures that powerful truth appears an empty grave.
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:28.640
Hope is rising here.
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:38.319
Love has conquered fear.
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:30.800
Jesus is alive, not just in history, not just in memory, but alive today.
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:34.159
And that changes everything about how we live.
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:39.119
It means our faith isn't built on a story, it's built on a living Savior.
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:41.440
It means hope isn't temporary.
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:46.480
It means no matter what we face, we are never alone.
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:53.440
The resurrection is not just something we celebrate once a year, it's something we carry with us every day.
00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:58.480
And that truth still has power.
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:02.639
This next song says it simply and says it boldly.
00:37:00.960 --> 00:37:03.280
The grave unsun.
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:35.440
That he said we ran with fire in the hurt so the angel's words had made her whole.
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:38.320
Don't tell the others.
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:41.360
Don't be afraid.
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:46.159
Don't they go off the devil on the door?
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.840
And from the garden too cold.
00:37:54.000 --> 00:37:55.840
It was too cold.
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:02.880
He is a written.
00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:05.360
Just as he said.
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:11.840
Who conquered the dead?
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:15.280
Let every day.
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:34.239
Oh just the fire of hope.
00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:57.280
Just as he said, Because he has risen, everything changes.
00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:02.559
The resurrection isn't just about what happened then, it's about what's possible now.
00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:06.000
It means no situation is beyond God's reach.
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:08.239
No life is too far gone.
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.199
No heart is too broken to be restored.
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:14.960
It doesn't have to stay that way.
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:19.039
Because when Jesus walked out of that tomb, he brought something with him.
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:25.519
A hope that doesn't fade when life gets hard.
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:27.360
And maybe that's what you need today.
00:40:27.599 --> 00:40:31.760
A reminder that no matter what you're facing, there is a real hope.
00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:33.840
And it's a lie.
00:43:26.239 --> 00:43:33.440
Hope doesn't stay quiet and it rises, it grows, and it turns into something powerful: victory.
00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:40.000
Because the resurrection wasn't just a moment of hope, it was a declaration that the battle has already been won.
00:43:40.320 --> 00:43:42.000
Sin no longer has control.
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:44.639
Death no longer has the final word.
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:48.960
And through Jesus, we don't just survive, we overcome.
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:59.599
That's why Easter is more than a remembrance, it's a celebration, a reason to lift our voices, to stand in confidence, and to rejoice in what God has done.
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:04.559
This next song is exactly that a celebration of victory.
00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:06.639
Here's victory song.
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:20.079
The battle has been won.
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:24.559
The war's finally done.
00:44:26.639 --> 00:44:28.719
The limb is overcome.
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:32.800
Our savior is no one.
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:40.239
Jesus.
00:44:57.679 --> 00:44:59.920
Don't grip you down.
00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:26.159
We started with the reminder that we are redeemed, not because of anything we've done, but because of what Jesus has done for us.
00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:33.280
From his humble birth to his life as the son of a carpenter, to the voice that prepared the way.
00:46:33.519 --> 00:46:37.119
We saw how God's plan was unfolding every step of the way.
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:43.519
We walked through his ministry, the power, the purpose, and the message of the kingdom.
00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:49.360
Then we came to that quiet moment in the garden where surrender led to sacrifice.
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:55.920
From there, we stood at the hill called Calvary, where love was poured out completely.
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:58.320
But the story didn't end there.
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:05.119
We saw the empty grave, the risen King, and the truth that Jesus is alive today.
00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:08.320
And because he lived, hope is alive.
00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:11.679
Not just for a moment, but for every day of our lives.
00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:14.239
And that hope leads us to victory.
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:16.320
That's the message of Easter.
00:47:16.559 --> 00:47:18.639
That's the power of the gospel.
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:20.960
