"He Is Risen"

The Lord is risen, the only name of flesh given to God
who is Jesus Christ and He lives on to this day forever
Have you not heard of the man named Jesus Christ
who preached the Word of God
and healed the sick
The Lord is risen, for the stone has been rolled away
never to imprison the body again
Have you not heard of the multitudes who saw Him
with their very own eyes
walk this earth
after His death
The Lord is risen, the door has been opened
that all may approach the true living God
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
Have you not heard Him calling your name
deep within the heart that has been given
from your true Father
The Lord is risen, His blood has been shed
His sacrifice made and
His place taken at the right hand of God
and He petitions on your behalf
Have you not yet taken the hand of the One who created it
who gave the life of His only begotten Son
so all mankind may be given salvation
The Lord is risen, indeed, so any who choose to believe
who lay down their life in this world
may call upon His name
for true Life
Have you not known such Hope that walks with you through this world
every step which is taken
knowing He is there
The Lord is risen and His light shines on
in every disciple set atop a hill
for all to clearly see
Have you not seen, how I pray you will see
and add to His magnitude
in this place called earth
Until, the Lord, who is risen, takes our hand
to serve with brothers and sisters
in Gods very presence
for the rest of eternity
