APRIL 15, 2022
OPEN DOOR COMMUNITY CHURCH
PRAISE TEAM & CONGREGATION:
ABOVE ALL
ABOVE ALL
Above all power, above all kings, Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man,
You were here before the world began.
Above all kingdom, above all thrones,
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure what you’re worth
Crucified, laid behind a stone, You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground,
You took the fall, and thought of me, above all

PRAISE TEAM AND CONGREGATION:
AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS
Verse 1: At the foot of the cross, Where grace and suffering meet
You have shown me Your love, Through the judgment You received
And You’ve won my heart, And You’ve won my heart (Now I can)
Chorus: Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down, At the foot of the cross
Verse 2: At the foot of the cross, Where I am made complete
You have given me life, Through the debt you bore for me
And You’ve won my heart, And You’ve won my heart (Now I can)
(Repeat Chorus twice, then instrumental)
Bridge: And You’ve won my heart,
And You’ve won my heart Now I can
(Repeat Chorus twice)
I lay every burden down, I lay every burden down
I lay every burden down, At the foot of the cross
I’m laying every burden down, I’m laying every burden down
SCRIPTURE READING: MARK 15:1-25 BRAD CAVINESS
Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the
teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans.
So they bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.
“Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate.
“You have said so,” Jesus replied.
The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked
him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are
accusing you of.” But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed.
Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom
the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the
insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The
crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did.
“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked
Pilate, knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had
handed Jesus over to him. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd
to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.
“What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?”
Pilate asked them.
“Crucify him!” they shouted.
“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.
But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He
had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium)
and called together the whole company of soldiers. They put a purple
robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on
him. And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” Again
and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him.
Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. And when they had
mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes
on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus,
was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him
to carry the cross. They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha
(which means “the place of the skull”). Then they offered him wine
mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him.
Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.

LAST WORDS OF JESUS FROM THE CROSS
EXTINGUISHING OF THE CANDLES
AS THE LAST OF SEVEN CANDLES IS EXTINGUISHED
WE ASK THAT YOU DEPART IN SILENCE…
THE SEVEN SAYINGS OF THE SAVIOR ON THE CROSS
1. WORD OF FORGIVENESS
Then said Jesus, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do”
2. THE WORD OF SALVATION
And he said unto Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come
into your kingdom” and Jesus said unto him,
“Very truly I say unto you, today you shall be with me in paradise.”
3. THE WORD OF AFFECTION
Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother. When Jesus saw
his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, He said unto
His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” Then He said to the disciple,
“Behold your mother!”
4. THE WORD OF ANGUISH
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice saying.
“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?”
That is to say, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”
5. THE WORD OF SUFFERING
Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished,
that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst.”
6. THE WORD OF VICTORY
When Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, “It is finished.”
7. THE WORD OF CONTENTMENT
And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, “Father, into your
hands I commend My spirit;” and having said this, He gave up His spirit
