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
