there's a story goin' round these days like it must've long ago
"Bout Jesus' resurrection- the Bible says it's so
But many would have us chalk it up to His disciples'zeal
To rise from death's a miracle and miracles aren't real!
Your hope of heaven's not worth half a hallelujah
If Jesus didn't do as he said!
Your Hope of heaven's not worth half a hallelujah
If Jesus didn't rise from the dead!
There are preachers in the pulpit and teachers in the schools
Who say His body's in the grave- if so then we are fools
They say it doesn't matter-His spirit is alive
In some ethereal , abstract way-That's metaphysical jive!
Your hope of heaven's not worth half a hallelujah
If Jesus didn't do as he said!
Your Hope of heaven's not worth half a hallelujah
If Jesus didn't rise from the dead!
They want to criticize God's word by standards made by men
It's more than just symbolic- I wish they'd understand
If Jesus broke His promise, if Jesus didn't rise
Then all our faith is pointless-It's just a pack of lies!
Your hope of heaven's not worth half a hallelujah
If Jesus didn't do as he said!
Your Hope of heaven's not worth half a hallelujah
If Jesus didn't rise from the dead!
Your hope of heaven's not worth half a hallelujah
If Jesus didn't do as he said!
Your Hope of heaven's not worth half a hallelujah
If Jesus didn't rise from the dead!
