The Risen Lord

The Risen Lord by Jim Lake

Jesus My Savior Arose From The Dead

He Purchased My Pardon And Did What He Said

His Foes Have Been Vanquished, They Tried And They Failed

The Grave Could Not Hold Him, His Power Prevailed

Because Of The Work That My Savior Has Done

Redemption’s Completed, The Battle Is Won

He’s Preparing A Place At His Table For Me

For Once I Was Blind, But Now I Can See

I’m Thrilled To Belong To This Family Of God

Where Sinners Repent And The Angels Applaud

If There Was Not An Easter, A Cross Or A Grave

The World Would Not Know Of The One Who Can Save

I Rejoice In The Fact That The Price Has Been Paid

I Never Need Doubt Or Be Sad Or Afraid

For My Lord Gave His All When He Died On The Tree

And When He Arose, He Set People Free

So I’m Living By Faith In The Joy Of The Lord

God’s Wonderful Peace Is An Added Reward

The Tomb Has Been Conquered, The Stone’s Rolled Away

The Savior Now Dwells In His Vessels Of Clay

In All Of Earth’s History, There Never Has Been

A Savior Like Jesus Who Saves Us From Sin

He Calls Us To Love Him And Serve Him Today

For He Is The Truth And The Life And The Way

Matthew 28:1-5 – Early on Sunday morning, as the new day

was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went out

to visit the tomb. Suddenly there was a great earthquake!

for the Angel of the Lord came down from heaven, rolled aside

the stone and sat on it. His face shone like lightning, and his

clothing was white as snow. The guards shook with fear when

they saw him and fell into a deep faint. Then the angel spoke

to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking

for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead,

just as He said would happen. Come see where His body was lying.

And now go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead,

and is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see Him there.

Remember what I have told you.”
