Resurrection

Blinders lifted
Truth untold
Screams into time and space
A bloody cross
Undeniable love
Ultimate unthinkable cost

Innocence pays
The price that is asked
For those who still remain blind

Father himself
Stepped out of eternity
Infusing his love into time

Jesus the son
Scourged and filled with desire
Every unthinkable sin
Stared hell in the face
Denied its existence
Descended then declared the win

An open show through the cosmos
Dragging lucifer bound and chained
The son of the living God
Claimed his name
above every name

Sitting right down next to Father
The message he shared brought such hope
I will return
To make all things new
When my enemies become my footstool

I give you my spirit
I give you my love
I give you eternity
I give you my power and might

Now take my kingdom
In power and light
Share it there on the earth as you go

Good news you must share
No matter what you see
Time will fade
Into eternity

Sickness and pain
Doubt and despair
Will bow as you wield my name
Never forget
One drop of my blood
Is stronger than all hell combined

I will be with you
My spirit leads the way
Till the moment we will be together

Resurrection
Redemption
Eternity waits
Yearning for what is to come

Rejoice
Celebrate
For quickly I come
Your places prepared with my heart

This is the hour
This is the day
Declare what is true
Loud and bold

Never give up
Never give in
All of heaven is cheering you on

Love YHWH
