He Rose!

A prophesy foretold,
A king born to men,
A love the world had never known
But he was crucified

On the third day he rose again
That’s when the meaning of my life began
Because he rose
Jesus he rose
My life’s been forgiven this world holds no power
He rose
Jesus he rose
My lifes been redeemed this prisoner set free
Death where’s your sting? Cause he rose

Death made into life
Now I have been made new
I’m no longer bound by sin or shame
Cause it was crucified with you

On the third day he rose again
That’s when the meaning of my life began
Because he rose
Jesus he rose
My life’s been forgiven this world holds no power
He rose
Jesus he rose
My life’s been redeemed this prisoner set free
Death where’s your sting? Cause he rose

Scorn and broken he was nailed to a tree
He was crushed to bring God glory and set the sinner free
Death was beaten, Satan seized of all his power
Hallelujah Jesus won the victory

He rose
Jesus he rose
My life’s been forgiven this world holds no power
He rose

Jesus he rose
My life’s been redeemed, this prisoner set free
Death where’s your sting? HE ROSE!

(-Lyrics by Jeff Johnson "He Rose" 2007)

"Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and He said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven. And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising God." - Luke 24: 45-47, 50-53
