The Resurrection

For those that read this.all goes to my Grandfather,whom wrote most.   
     The reson I get to write is because he knew what I Didn't.......R.I.P.With Love,Doc
             ''We talk of how the Lord did come
               In form Abram's seed
               Of miracles that He performed
               His care for human need
        
               Of those He healed and those He fed
               Compassion in His heart
               The inspired record given to us
               Is really just a part

               We read of how He gave His life
               Upon Calvary's cruel tree
               To pay the sin debt of us all
               And made salvation free
       But all of this is as a myth,The church its doors should close
   No truth exists,no eternal life,except life,Except Jesus Christ arose
  -But praise the Lord,the Holy book,Records this glorious fact
  Death could not hold the Son of God,Nor sepulcher stone hold back
       Therefore the power of endless life,The Son of God does hold
    And this our hope by faith in Him,the story shall never grow old
                 Oh grave where is your victory
                 Oh death where is your sting
                 Death is swallowed in the victory
                 Of Jesus Christ our King

         He is the resurrection and life of all who believe in Him
               All earthly values that man holds dear
                     In light of all this truth grows dim
      
                 He arose and we shall rise
                 From graves wherever they may be
                 Or if alive when Jesus comes
                 From death forever free!''
                                                            Stafford D.Bankson 
                                                    and his Thankful Grandson
                                                                               Jai''Doc''B
