I will praise the name of Jesus
Who was spit on in my place
I will praise the name of Jesus
Who was beaten in my place
I will praise the name of Jesus
Who was weighed down in my place
I will praise the name of Jesus
Who was nailed in my place
Although Easter has come and gone, I thank God for us being able to reflect on the death of Christ on the Friday night before Easter. It is such a sad concept to think how many Brasilians have no idea of what Easter is all about and also interesting how many of us Christians celebrate the season of Christmas way in advance, but make the most important season of lesser value! Imagine if we made Easter just as significant as Christmas... During our Good Friday night service, we celebrated the Lord's Supper and reflected on the last 7 significant phrases of Christ before He died.
What a joy to come in Easter morning to celebrate the resurrection of Christ with our people!

| Children ripping the chains of sin apart since Christ arose from the grave giving us complete victory over our sin through His free gift of salvation!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward to Thy glorious rest above!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best!
’Tis an ocean full of blessing, ’tis a haven giving rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, ’tis a heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!
