Resurrection and Life


What is dead?
What is hopeless?
Four days buried,
Wrapped and sealed?
What has past?
Lost all reason
Doubt like grave clothes
Tightly bound?

‘Cause I know
The Resurrection
I know Life

What lies dead?
Prayers unanswered
Riga mortise
Has begun!
Who has strife?
Tombs of heartache?
Griev’d past comfort,
Tons of tears?

‘Cause I know
The Resurrection
I know Life

Lord, remove
The stone of doubt
Call forth my name!
Break the seal!
Grave clothes off!
No longer bound
Passing through your
Open door

I know
The Resurrection
I know Life!

Lord, rise up!
And set me free
Resurrection!
Life in me.
He’s my hope
Darkness is gone
He’s the reason
Hear my song!

I know
The Resurrection
I know Life!

John 11:25 ( The Message)
"You don't have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live.

Powerful song/witness to resurrection life....

The whole history of God and Man is portrayed in the resurrection of Lazarus.

Your words remind me that until I stand with Jesus, angry at death, and weep for those in the tomb, resurrection will not occur.
