He Arose!

Although written in 1874 by Robert Lowry, the words to the song "He Arose" are ringing in my heart today. This is the most triumphant song of Jesus' resurrection that I know.

Pastor shared today that Christianity rises and falls on the resurrection of Jesus. I Corinthians 15 tells us that it is in the resurrection that we have our hope; and that without it, we are to be pitied more than all men.

I'm so glad today that Jesus DID rise up! That He didn't stay in the ground. And that the evidence to this truth is so great (even today, 2000 years later) that it really can't be refuted.

God, thank you for your wonderful plan of salvation!

He Arose

Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior,
Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior;
Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior;
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes,
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
