Risen

The one who came and dwelt among His creation. Embodied Himself with the same nature as his brothers. Born of a virgin,raised by a carpenter Grew in wisdom of God. Who came by the water,the testimony concerning Him made clear, The descending spirit from heaven made it public. Performed miracles before the multitude, Fed the crowd, healed the sick, walked on water Authority of His word, Rebuked the hypocrites,dinned with outcasts. He welcomed many though had nowhere to lay his head. On the mountain,His glory was seen, a voice from heaven bore witness concerning Him. 3 eye witness, heard the voice from heaven, saw the glory of the Son. Was arrested and tested,found innocent but falsely charged. They preferred Barnabas to him, In silence and opened not his mouth. Sentenced to death. Two days ago,along the streets of Jerusalem, wooden cross staggering as he fell. A crown of thorns that pierced through his flesh. his cloak darken by His innocent blood, Climbed the hill of calvary. Laid down on a cross,his hands wide stretched to embrace our wrath. Nails on his legs and hands. cursed is He on a tree. In agony and pain,cried out,the Son of Man who knew no sin,but was made sin. his breath was cut from the land of the living. Laid in a tomb. Yesterday All hope seemed lost, those of his company were in hiding. Couldn't fathomed a prophet and a mighty man indeed could die. his body laying dead in a far tomb. A week ago they proclaimed him king, How comes he lays dead in there? But today morning, He rose from the dead. He is alive! In His life, death and resurrection, Sin and death were conquered, debt paid, salvation acquired. Two thousand plus years back, He ascended to heaven. After making purification for sins, sitting at the right hand of God. That through faith in Him, and Him alone all escape the coming wrath of God. This Christ, who came died and rose from the dead, He is our only hope, He is risen.
