Arise My Love

Not a word was heard

At the tomb that day.

Just shuffling of soldiers feet

As they guarded the grave.

One day, two days,

Three days had past.

Could it be that Jesus

Breathed His last?

Could it be that His Father

Had forsaken him?

Turned his back on his son

Despising our sin.

All hell seemed to whisper

"Just forget Him, He's dead."

Then the Father looked down

To his son and he said...

Arise, My love.

Arise, My love.

The grave no longer

Has a hold on you

No more death's sting

No more suffering

Arise... Arise... my love.

The Earth trembled

And the tomb began to shake,

And like lightning

From Heaven the stone was rolled away.

And as dead man

The guards they all stood there in fright

As the power of love

Displayed it's might

Then suddenly a melody

Filled the air

Riding wings of wind,

It was everywhere

The words all creation

Had been longing to hear

The sweet sound of victory,

So loud and clear.

Arise, my love.

Arise, my love.

The grave no longer has a hold on you.

No more death's sting

No more suffering

Arise... arise...

Sin, where are your shackles?

Death, where is your sting?

Hell has been defeated.

The grave could not hold the king.

Arise, My love.

Arise, My love.

The grave no longer

Has a hold on you

No more death's sting

No more suffering

Arise... Arise... Arise
