Easter Sunday Scripture: Take Heart! I Have Overcome the World.

Happy Easter! He is Risen!

I knew I had to share this today because as I’ve been reading the Word this week preparing for Easter, one of my favorite passages of scripture popped up. I sat back, read the passage, and listened to “Take Heart” by Hillsong. It’s one of my favorite Hillsong songs and it just felt right to share it with you on this Happy Easter!

³³ “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

I love this because whenever I feel down or disheartened or like I can’t do anything – I read this passage.

Lyrics for Take Heart by Hillsong

There is a light
It burns brighter than the sun
He steals the night
And casts no shadow
There is hope
Should oceans rise and mountains fall
He never fails

So take heart
Let His love lead us through the night
Hold on to hope
And take courage again

In death by love
The fallen world was overcome
He wears the scars of our freedom
In His Name
All our fears are swept away
He never fails

All our troubles
And all our tears
God our hope
He has overcome

All our failure
And all our fear
God our love
He has overcome

All our heartache
And all our pain
God our healer
He has overcome

All our burdens
And all our shame
God our freedom
He has overcome

All our troubles
And all our tears
God our hope
He has overcome

All our failures
And all our fear
God our love
He has overcome

God our justice
God our grace
God our freedom
He has overcome

God our refuge
God our strength
God is with us
He has overcome
