|
Not a word was heard |
|
At the tomb that day. |
|
Just shuffling of soldiers feet |
|
As they guarded the grave. |
|
One day, two days, |
|
Three days had past. |
|
Could it be that Jesus |
|
Breathed His last? |
|
Could it be that His Father |
|
Had forsaken him? |
|
Turned his back on his son |
|
Dispising our sin. |
|
All hell seemed to whisper |
|
'Just forget Him, He's dead.' |
|
Then the Father looked down |
|
To his son and he said.. |
|
Arise, My love. |
|
Arise, My love. |
|
The grave no longer |
|
Has a hold on you |
|
No more death's sting |
|
No more suffering |
|
Arise...Arise...my love. |
|
The Earth trembled |
|
And the tomb began to shake, |
|
And like lightening |
|
From Heaven the stone was rolled away. |
|
And as dead man |
|
The guards they all stood there in fright |
|
As the power of love |
|
Displayed its might |
|
Then suddenly a melody |
|
Filled the air |
|
Riding wings of wind, |
|
It was everywhere |
|
The words all creation |
|
Had been longing to hear |
|
The sweet sound of victory, |
|
So loud and clear. |
|
Arise, my love. |
|
Arise, my love. |
|
The grave no longer has a hold on you. |
|
No more death's sting |
|
No more suffering |
|
Arise...arise.... |
|
Sin, where are your shackles? |
|
Death, where is your sting? |
|
Hell; has been defeated. |
|
The grave could not hold the king!! |
|
Arise, My love. |
|
Arise, My love. |
|
The grave no longer |
|
Has a hold on you |
|
No more death's sting |
|
No more suffering |
|
Arise....Arise....Arise |
