GTWFSL Holy Week 2021 Special Numbers

Last week, GTWFSL released three virtual song covers in commemoration of the Holy Week and Easter.

For Good Friday, the teachers and some Junior High School students presented “The Power of the Cross” by Stuart Townend and Keith & Kristyn Getty—a moving, meaningful story hymn reflecting on the events of that day in which Christ was crucified.

Then, on Holy Saturday, the Elementary students, some Junior High School students, and their Music teacher, me, presented “The Salvation Poem” by Matt and Sherry McPherson.  Popularized by the children’s TV series ‘Superbook’ (2011 reboot), “The Salvation Poem” presents the Gospel—the crux of the Holy Week—in a “nursery rhyme”-level manner, making it easy to understand and memorize, yet at the same time, manages to keep the basic message of the Gospel undiluted and emphatic.

Finally, for Resurrection Sunday, the teachers and some Junior High School girls presented “See, What a Morning (Resurrection Hymn)” by Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend—a joyful, rousing story hymn about that momentous Sunday morning in which Christ rose from the dead.


And as usual, here are the instrumental versions of all three songs:
