Arise

The morning came, the earth was still The empty cross up on the hill The veil in two, the blood was spilled…arise The heavy stone, now rolled away The vacant tomb where His body laid “He is not here,” the angel said…arise Arise, arise, for the day has dawned, it’s a brand new tomorrow Arise, arise, for thy light has come and the glory is risen upon thee The men were sure their ship was lost The great wind blew, the tempest tossed Then Jesus woke and calmed the storm…arise “Where were you Lord?” the woman cried, “Four days ago our brother died” “Just believe in Me,” He replied…arise Arise, arise, for the wind and sea dwell in perfect obedience Arise, arise, those who sleep in Christ though they die Yet shall they be made again…alive And one day soon the trump will sound Our Lord shall come with a mighty shout The church caught up into the clouds…arise Forevermore to live with Him With no more pain and no more sin Well done child now enter in…arise For eternity with the Lamb in jubilee Blessed saints rejoice, praising God with single voice While the mountains quake and the Lion roars Safe through Heaven’s gate, Hallelujah!! Lord, You’re everything beautiful Amaranthine without equal All the nations shall bow their knee To the Dayspring, Eternal Messiah, King And to those who believed You’ll say, “Arise”
