(Easter is this weekend, and at rehearsal last night, it hit me all over again the amazing gift of life, FOREVER LIFE, that Jesus gave us. Free for us but horrifically costly to Him. He fought and won for US! Happy Easter! May we never get over the miracle of the cross and the empty grave…)
Where, oh death, your victory?
Where, oh death, your sting?
I have a life that cannot end
Life given by a King
A King who once left Paradise
And in a barn was born
Who once gave up His royal crown
To wear one made of thorns
He gave His life to give me mine
While hanging on a tree
Gave up all His innocence
To bear a guilty plea
And through the blood, the sweat, the tears
His prayer was, “Please forgive”
And as He took His final breath
He gave me His to live
But death, you had no victory
Oh death, you lost your sting
After three days in the grave
Angels began to sing
My King came back to life for me
Eternity is mine
To live forever by His side
Both now and for all time
Death, Jesus has the victory
Death, you have no sting
Life has overtaken you
Through my Savior and my King…
1 Corinthians 15:57 – But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.
