Not a word was heard at the tomb that day
Just shuffling soldiers feet as they guarded the grave.
One day, two days, three days had passed
Could it be that Jesus had breathed His last?
Could it be that His Father had forsaken Him?
Turned His back on His Son, despising our sin?
All hell seemed to whisper, "Just forget Him, He's dead,"
Then the Father looked down at His Son and 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 tomb began to shake
and like lightning from Heaven, the stone rolled away
And like dead men the guards stood there in fright
As the power of Love displayed it's might
And suddenly a melody filled the air
Riding wings of love, 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, My Love!"
Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell hath been defeated!
The grave could not hold my 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!"

I just can't figure it out; why do those words sound familiar?
Happy Resurrection Day to you too!
Amen...
hey my dad sang that song yesterday! He did a really good job. It went with our pastor's sermon and everything... the sermon and music at our church yesterday was really special, there were times where I could really feel the Holy SPirit... my dad also sang, "I've just seen Jesus" as a duet with a lady at my chuch, you should check it out, Sandi Patti sings it with Larnel Harris I believe. That's also a very powerful song. I bet you could sing it. Yeah for passionate songs about Jesus!
