THE RESURRECTION
We hold
so close to our hearts
The cross where Jesus died
But so much
more than the blood-stained cross
Is that Jesus came back to
life
The stone's been rolled away
The tomb lay open and
bare
They looked for Him, and then the angel said
That He is
no longer here
Oh what joy they must have felt
To see Him
just once more
To eat with Him, to drink with Him
To receive
Him back as Lord
So much did He accomplish
Through His
death upon the cross
And in His rising from the dead
He
reconciled us back to God
Nothing else could bridge the
gap
That sin had wrenched apart
Now we can freely go to
God
And receive Christ in our hearts
