You Rose This world was lost Full of people on the way To an eternity in hell Separated from you forever Doomed to live a life of torture Having their bodies maimed Their skin ripped from its frame Knowing the path of destruction We were on You sent your son From the holiest place He came from glory To live among us for 30 years Before He even began his ministry And at the right time Jesus! You rose And began to do miracles You healed the sick Cast out demons And brought the dead to life People came from everywhere around To hear your message of hope Crowds often too big to count Filled homes, and streets, buildings and beaches To hear you teach You rose Against the Pharisees and teachers of the law You rose Against the practices of religion And everyone then saw Then after everything you did You were betrayed By the one closest to you Yes it was one of your own Who turned You in When the soldiers came To take you away You rose In faith knowing the time was here To redeem all mankind You rose Time and again after being struck And knocked to the ground You were unfairly tried And the very people you loved Turned You over to be flogged While they let a criminal go Who should’ve died You rose And approached the place Where you knew you would suffer pain Then after being beaten Nearly to death Having been taken to the edge of sanity Your tears flowed like rain Still You rose And made the long walk Carrying the cross To Your body’s final resting place You yelled in pain As they nailed Your hands and feet to the cross They stood You up and pierced Your side Dislocated Your shoulder So You couldn’t even lift Yourself to catch a breath Still you rose And said a prayer You asked for forgiveness For those who tortured you And as you breathed your last You said, “It is done.” And committed Your spirit To God And Your body to the grave Still You rose And for 3 days You went down to hell And battled the devil and his demons With all authority in heaven you weren’t afraid Buried them so deep Served them up on a plate like a waiter You chained them down and they couldn’t move And all they could do is weep. You rose And because You rose We win You defeated death and shut down hell For all who believe in You And we as believers Will go out and tell So others will have the chance to receive You Because You rose You are the God who now lives And with you we have The ultimate victory Because You rose You are the God who gives Eternal life to all who want it Paradise forever walking on streets of gold Living with you And praising you eternally Jesus I am so grateful You rose You are the God of life And because you suffered and died We have the chance To have everlasting life Because you suffered and sacrificed We will live with you forever As your spiritual wife When you died you defeated death forever You rescued all human beings All we have to do is choose To welcome you into our life Eternal happiness is possible For all who accept you And for those who choose To die without knowing you Death and eternal damnation Awaits them for sure All of this we can easily avoid If we just believe and have faith In our one true savior Jesus Salvation is free the price was already paid This is why YOU ROSE © Robert T Sells – all rights reserved
