Would You Recognise the Risen Jesus
When we read the scriptures ourselves
of Jesus rising from the dead
put ourselves in that place and time
see whereabouts our feet would tread
Think of what it would be like
speaking with the folks of that time
rubbing shoulders with the disciples
being willing to call Jesus mine
Would you recognise the risen Jesus?
to really know who He truly was
walking down Jerusalem's main street
keeping all your man-made laws
But this Jesus lived above your law
He was the living epistle in human form
showing all the spirits fruitfulness so clear
even being at peace during a storm
This man had been dead but now alive
telling people all they had ever done
all of their sin He knew every little one
He lived in eternity past and future
After all this, can you truly know Him?
if He stopped you downtown what do you say
take in His every word claim it your own
walk in step each and every day
(Just some thoughts if we were to live in Jesus post-resurrection days on earth)
