A Weekly Newsletter for The Sanctuary Choir of First Baptist Church
2011 Easter Season Our 2011 Easter presentation, Tenebrae: Jesus, Light of the World, will be
presented on Good Friday, April 22, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. I chose to do a Good Friday
service so that we would not “compete” with the Deacon-led evangelism campaign
to begin soon. From the North American Mission Board website: “God’s Plan for
Sharing (GPS) will have a special evangelism campaign every other year beginning
in 2010 and continuing through the year 2020. The first of these campaigns is
called Across North America and is considered a Sowing event. This evangelism
campaign is designed to get the gospel into every home in North America during
the 2011 Easter season.” Thus, doing a Good Friday presentation will not get in the
way of this special emphasis for Easter Sunday morning. I am already making
plans for a festive, visual song service on both
Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday.
In order to help people understand why
we are doing a Good Friday service, I will
post a description of the service’s intent on the
church website (www.fbcpinebluff.org). I encourage
you to familiarize yourself with this description as
well.
Tenebrae is a simple service. “In that beautiful sim-
plicity, the story we all know so well of a babe in a
manger and a man on a cross, touches something
deep inside each of us.” The dimly lit Sanctu-
ary suggest a sense of mourning. We will plan
to wear black and white—ALL black for the
ladies and white shirt, dark tie, black pants for
the men.
Let us prepare ourselves to be used by Him!

Lamentations 3:40
Article Title: Songs for Services
Author: Keith Getty
Article Source: www.gettymusic.com
Article Focus: A hymn for the preaching
of the word.
One of Christianity's distinctives is that
we worship a God who has spoken - who
is not silent. From God the Father, speak-
ing the world into creation, to speaking
through His Living word in Christ, to
speaking by His Spirit through the written
word.
Throughout history the word of God has
transformed the most proud leaders and
the most hopeless victims, the greatest
civilizations and the remotest of villages,
in every age to every corner of the
world—so incredible is its power.
Often today however the preaching of the
word has been diminished in value—
from its prominence in a service to its
passion, but most of all in our own expec-
tation each time we sit down and ask God
to speak to us.
In Isaiah the people were performing
many acts in the name of God and the
Lord said "This is the one to whom I will
turn my face—he who is humble and
contrite and trembles at my word".
It is our prayer that through the power of
the spirit, this hymn will prepare people
to humbly listen to the Bible being taught
and respond to the huge consequences it
has on their lives.
After "In Christ Alone" and "The Power
of the Cross" this is the most requested
Getty/Townend hymn on our website. It
is used both to introduce the sermon and
to introduce a service. We used it
both before and after a sermon when we
were with Anne Graham Lotz as a way of
affirming the message. It also works well
as a choral and solo piece.
Song Lyrics: Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your Holy
Word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your
likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen
today
In our acts of love and our deeds of
faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory.
Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility;
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise;
Cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of power that can never fail,
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.
Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
Help us grasp the heights of Your
plans for us -
Truths unchanged from the dawn of
time
That will echo down thro' eternity.
And by grace we'll stand on Your
promises,
And by faith we'll walk as You walk
with us.
Speak, O Lord, 'til Your church is
built
And the earth is filled with Your
glory.
