Jesus the Great Riser
A lot of us are not great risers
many a morning we hate that alarm
wish we could throw it out the window
but there was one with a mighty arm
Think on Jesus living 2000 years ago
imagine you're a disciple following Him there
then He was crucified dead on a cross
you are distraught thinking it's not fair
Then three days later news got through
the tomb was open but Jesus was gone
you couldn't take it in He had risen
Peter and John had been there at dawn
Amazing this! the Messiah came to life
yes it was true Jesus defeated death
showing His deity as the great riser
as God's son, truth He always saith
(As I was thinking on our great redeemer and the phrase ' He is not here, he has risen', I have written this putting ourselves as a disciple of Jesus in these dramatic days.)
