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!
