He Arose

 

The cry rang out "Why have you forsaken me?"

How could this be a part of His destiny?

Then He bowed his head and entered into Hell

Satan in excitement could not tell

No Satan couldn't hope to understand

How this could ever be part of God's plan!

 

All the force of Hell just couldn't wait

The demons all began to celebrate

as they's taunted Him and Mocked Him

They'd seen Him bear a world of sin

And now for the first time in eternity

Satan could sense eness of a victory!

 

On the earth's darkest day- the demons came out to play

It would chill your soul the way you could almost hear them rant and rave!

When hope upon the cross was nailed,

They thought His mission had truly failed

Thought that evil had prevailed

as the stone was rolled over the grave!

 

A hellish celebration for the deathday of God's son

A rallying of hells hope that God's plan had come undone

And as Satan felt he's engineered man's fall

He thought he'd slain god's champion once for all

No he could not hope to understand

The mysterious perfection of God's plan

 

Then three days after the tomb was sealed,

the truth would finally be revealed

The Lamb of God who had been killed

Threw off His binding clothes

The glory of the Lord did shine

To fill the tomb and space and time

IN GOD'S TRUE PURPOSE AND DESIGN

The Son of God arose!

 

He arose! He arose

He arose in victory over sin's domain

He arose So that with Him we could forever reign

 

He arose! He arose!

Hallelujah He arose

He is alive and well and He's sent us forth to tell

He arose! He arose!

Hallelujah He arose

He arose!
