Resurrection Changes Things

What once required the sacrifice, That bloody gift of death and gore, Of animal life to pay for sin Is left behind and is no more. Resurrection changes things. Jesus Christ obeyed the Father, Sacrificed Himself on the cross, Evened up those holy books That list our profit and our loss. Resurrection changes things. Where once we followed our understanding And made our own decisions, Now belonging to Jesus Christ Our life is one of holy revisions. Resurrection changes things. When we're united with Jesus Christ We're a new creature in the Son; Our old way of life hangs dead on the cross And life everlasting is now begun! Resurrection changes things. No prison doors can hold our soul. Christ sets our spirit free And fills our life with love and hope That rings our world in victory. Resurrection changes things. So tell someone in the pain of their life Of the freedom Jesus brings, That sets us apart from sin and death; How the soul that's set free sings! Tell them: Resurrection changes things. by E.
