Arise, My Love

Not a word was heard at the tomb that day
Just shuffling soldiers feet
As they guarded the grave
One day, two days, three days had passed
Could it be that Jesus had 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......
Forget Him, He's dead
Then the Father looked down
To His son and 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 rolled away
As dead men the guards, 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, My Love

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
