PALM SUNDAY
CHILDREN SINGING

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY ANNOUNCEMENT

PARENTS OF 4–YEAR–OLDS THROUGH 5TH–GRADERS:

On Palm Sunday (4/13), we’re celebrating Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem with an opportunity for the children to sing up front after the sermon concludes.

GAMEPLAN

On 4/13, our children’s worship children will be given palm branches after their worship time and will be led in front of the podium while the band plays. If your child is a 3rd through 5th grader, they can hop in the procession and/or head to the front as the children’s worship children head toward the front of the congregation.

PREPARATION

Please begin practicing “Is He Worthy” at home. Have your child practice singing with this audio clip of “Is He Worthy” (stream/download). We are asking children to be prepared to echo the response to each of the verses, and (if they’re up for it!) the chorus. (lyrics below; small printouts will be available for your readers).

We look forward to celebrating King Jesus with your children!

is he worthy

Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)
Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)
But do you know that all the dark won’t stop
The light from getting through? (We do)
Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)

And is all creation groaning? (It is)
Is a new creation coming? (It is)
Is the glory of the Lord to be
The light within our midst? (It is)
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal
And open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave;
He is David’s root and the Lamb who died
To ransom the slave!
Is he worthy? Is he worthy
Of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is he worthy of this?
He is!

Does the Father truly love us? (He does)
Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)
And does Jesus, our Messiah, hold
Forever those he loves? (He does)
Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal
And open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave;
He is David’s root and the Lamb who died
To ransom the slave!
From every people and tribe, every nation and tongue,
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God
To reign with the Son!
Is he worthy? Is he worthy
Of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is he worthy? Is he worthy? Is he worthy of this?
He is! He is! He is! He is!
