Waiting for the Rising Son
1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
As I wait for the Son to rise,
for hope to soar through the skies
for the light of the world to shine
so that grace and love are mine…
I hear the tears His followers cried
as they washed the body of Him who died
for love that means our souls live on
long after our bodies have gone.
As I wait for this day to by,
feeling the lonely in my cry
I lift my eyes, seeking the One
who brought love from the Son.
I see the wonder so amazing
my lips just keep on praising,
as I sing to the Father who will surely save
leaving an empty grave.
As I wait for three days to pass
the moments tick by, to amass
more light than a heart can reflect
with a love that is always perfect.
I see the still, so gentle and sure
reaching through shadows, a cure
for all the darkness that abides
beneath the changing tides.
As I wait, for three long days
my heavy heart surely pays
remembering the love in His grace,
oh, how I miss His embrace!
I know that Jesus is the light
that taught me wrong from right
His love has been my guide
throughout, oh how I’ve tried…
to hear His word, His voice
revealing my only choice
the hope that made a way
so I can always say…
when He came back from the grave
my heart, my soul, He did save
and I know what it means to believe
in love that can’t deceive –
He is the One who came to say
I am giving you a gift – you won’t pay
even when you crucify me on a tree
I’ll still save you and it’s completely free!
He is the One who came to say
I’m leaving you with love that is the only way
wherever you go, whatever you do
this love will always come through.
He is the One who came to say
listen, my child and just pray
you’ll soon meet the One who rose to say
I destroyed the darkness – that was yesterday…
Today is a new day, a new chance to say
LOVE is the story that God wrote that day!
