[1675.42 --> 1679.70] Alleluia
[1679.70 --> 1683.94] Alleluia
[1683.94 --> 1686.18] And the noise of us
[1686.18 --> 1687.90] Our love in us
[1687.90 --> 1689.14] We've got nothing new
[1689.14 --> 1692.82] Stand for our hearts
[1692.82 --> 1693.54] Singing
[1693.54 --> 1697.54] Alleluia
[1697.54 --> 1702.74] Alleluia
[1702.74 --> 1709.94] I've got one response
[1709.94 --> 1713.46] I've got just one proof
[1713.46 --> 1717.94] With my arms stretched wide
[1717.94 --> 1722.42] I will worship you
[1722.42 --> 1725.66] So I throw up my hands
[1725.66 --> 1729.90] Praise you again and again
[1729.90 --> 1733.14] So I throw up my hands
[1733.14 --> 1737.36] Alleluia
[1737.36 --> 1741.52] Alleluia
[1741.52 --> 1743.16] And I know it's not eaten
[1743.16 --> 1743.78] I know it's not flashed
[1743.78 --> 1744.10] I know it's notWS
[1744.10 --> 1746.18] I know it's Doch
[1746.18 --> 1746.96] Can I possibly ask for a key
[1746.96 --> 1750.26] Step for our hearts
[1750.26 --> 1750.38] Singing
[1750.38 --> 1752.38] in
[1752.38 --> 1754.38] hallelujah
[1754.38 --> 1758.38] hallelujah
[1764.38 --> 1766.38] my soul
[1766.38 --> 1768.38] don't you dare shine
[1768.38 --> 1770.38] lift up your soul
[1770.38 --> 1772.38] that you've got a lion
[1772.38 --> 1774.38] inside those ones
[1774.38 --> 1780.38] get up and praise the Lord
[1780.38 --> 1782.38] oh come on my soul
[1782.38 --> 1784.38] oh don't you dare shine
[1784.38 --> 1786.38] lift up your soul
[1786.38 --> 1788.38] you've got a lion
[1788.38 --> 1790.38] inside those bones
[1790.38 --> 1794.38] get up and praise the Lord
[1794.38 --> 1796.38] oh come on my soul
[1796.38 --> 1798.38] oh don't you dare shine
[1798.38 --> 1800.38] lift up your soul
[1800.38 --> 1802.38] oh don't you dare shine
[1802.38 --> 1804.38] shine on him
[1804.38 --> 1806.38] is that good song
[1806.38 --> 1808.38] shine a lion
[1808.38 --> 1810.38] inside those songs
[1810.38 --> 1814.38] give up and praise the Lord
[1824.38 --> 1826.38] so I've brought my hands
[1826.38 --> 1830.38] and praised you again and again
[1830.38 --> 1834.38] cause all that I have is a
[1834.38 --> 1836.38] hallelujah
[1836.38 --> 1840.38] hallelujah
[1840.38 --> 1844.38] and I know it's not much
[1844.38 --> 1846.38] but I'm nothing else
[1846.38 --> 1848.38] before me
[1848.38 --> 1852.38] except for a heart singing
[1852.38 --> 1854.38] hallelujah
[1854.38 --> 1858.38] hallelujah
[1858.38 --> 1860.38] hallelujah
[1864.38 --> 1868.38] oh
[1872.38 --> 1874.38] As you take a seat
[1874.38 --> 1876.38] let's come to God
[1876.38 --> 1891.94] Jesus, you are our king.
[1893.76 --> 1897.00] And so with humble hearts, we offer you all that we can.
[1897.00 --> 1902.76] And maybe right now, all that that is, is hallelujah.
[1906.38 --> 1920.36] Maybe right now, all that that is, is our presence here with you.
[1924.86 --> 1935.78] Maybe right now, all that that is, is a crying heart longing to see more of you.
[1936.38 --> 1942.70] So as we come to your word, may we hear your voice.
[1943.90 --> 1949.54] As we come to these eternal truths, may we see in them your face.
[1949.54 --> 1961.22] And as we reflect on the story of your ascension, as we reflect on the truth of your kingship,
[1963.06 --> 1967.88] may our hearts be stirred to give you a more profound hallelujah.
[1968.82 --> 1975.56] May our hearts be stirred to give you greater and more comprehensive praise in all that we do.
[1975.56 --> 1984.16] May our hearts be stirred that our tears of sorrow might be turned to tears of joy.
[1985.12 --> 1991.20] Because tonight we see you, Lord Jesus, on the throne of your grace as king.
[1991.20 --> 2000.74] Speak now, we pray, Lord Jesus, directly to our hearts.
[2002.30 --> 2007.70] That it might be applicable directly to our lives.
[2008.58 --> 2010.16] In your name we pray.
[2011.06 --> 2011.44] Amen.
[2011.44 --> 2011.54] Amen.
[2011.54 --> 2024.14] I don't know if you remember Easter or Palm Sunday or Good Friday, in between those two.
[2024.74 --> 2030.56] But when we were here, every one of those services, we were looking at the story of Jesus in the gospel of Matthew.
[2030.56 --> 2034.74] And we said that we were rehearsing the narrative.
[2035.50 --> 2038.64] We were rehearsing the truths of Palm Sunday.
[2038.86 --> 2043.84] And so when crowds of people walked with palm branches in our midst, they lived that out.
[2044.36 --> 2051.76] On Good Friday, when we came and we spent time in silence and in that dark night of the soul in worship,
[2051.76 --> 2056.50] we were rehearsing those who cried out at the death of Jesus.
[2056.50 --> 2063.98] And on Easter Sunday, when we came, hundreds upon hundreds of voices joyfully singing praise to the Lord,
[2064.04 --> 2068.42] we were shouting the empty tomb like those first disciples did.
[2070.02 --> 2076.96] And tonight, we continue that act of rehearsing in our worship and for our worship
[2076.96 --> 2082.38] in the themes and ideas of the ascension of Jesus.
[2082.38 --> 2098.18] Now, Ascension Day in the Christian church isn't new, but very clearly, it's not as popular as Easter.
[2099.44 --> 2102.08] It's not as well attended as Good Friday.
[2102.94 --> 2105.80] And maybe it pales in comparison to Christmas.
[2106.94 --> 2108.32] But why is that?
[2108.92 --> 2111.76] And more importantly, should it?
[2112.38 --> 2125.50] The Reformed Church has always held up Ascension Day as the day.
