Rise

Destroy this temple
In three day I’ll make it rise
Couldn’t believe it to be so simple
That’s why He came to open their eyes

He preached against the Pharisees’
The merchants was shown His wrath
His gospel brought some to their knees
For His word would be a light unto their path

In a world filled with hatred He showed His love
He said forgive them for they know not what they do
All power was in His hands from above
Yet He showed the restraint that would save a few

The world could not understand His teaching
So in parables He spoke to them all
Yet He continued on with His preaching
And thousands would answer the call

At the Cross is where His power would be displayed
Yet the Pharisees thought they were so wise
As He looked to the Father and prayed
Three days later He would rise
