FOR YOUR MERCY, GRACE,
AND ETERNAL LOVE.
ON THE OLD RUGGED
CROSS YOU SUFFERED AND BLED,
YOU SAID "IT IS
FINISHED" AND THEY SAID YOU WERE DEAD.
YOUR MOTHER CRIED, AND
YOUR BROTHERS WERE STRONG,
LITTLE DID THEY KNOW
THE SOLDIERS WERE WRONG.
YOUR BODY WAS BEATEN
AND MARKED WITH SHAME,
BUT THEY COULD NOT END
THE GLORY OF YOUR PRECIOUS NAME.
THE SOLDIERS CAST LOTS
FOR YOUR CLOTHES THAT DAY,
BUT YOUR
HEAVENLY FATHER WAS HAVING HIS WAY.
MARY CAME TO YOUR TOMB
TO SEE TO YOUR NEED,
BUT THE ANGELS THERE
TOLD HER, HE HAS RISEN INDEED!
GO TELL THE BRETHREN,
REJOICE AND BE GLAD,
JESUS IS LIVING MARY,
NO LONGER BE SAD!
HE HAS MADE ATONEMENT
FOR ALL OF OUR SIN,
WHEN HE KNOCKS,
PLEASE, INVITE HIM COME IN.
HE DIED FOR MY SIN,
ETERNAL LIFE HE HAS GIVEN,
FOR OUR LORD LIVES
TODAY, YES, HE IS TRULY RISEN!
