Our Hope For Eternity

OUR HOPE FOR ETERNITY


Born a babe in Bethlehem
He grew to be a Man
He preached man's iniquity to them
In fury, they devised a plan

They watched Him heal the lame
And were amazed as He raised the dead
Upset as by the multitudes they came
As by the thousands, they were fed

Their anger grew until the day
A traitor, one of His own
Decided that he would gladly betray
Because his greed had grown

So for thirty pieces of silver
He gave Jesus into their hands
With a kiss, he chose to deliver
The Son of God – the Son of man

He was crucified, dead and buried
The third day, He triumphantly rose
One day we'll all be carried
To join Him because we chose

To believe in Him as Savior
As proclaimed in God's own Word
To live with Him forever
I pray that you have heard

How He'll come for us in glory
To live with Him in splendor above
So tell others the wondrous story
Of Jesus and His love

That others on this Easter morning
May know Him as we do
So they too will have the joy of joining
In eternity with me and with you
