I Will Arise
*****
Silence fell upon that hill the day that Jesus died.
He cried out, “It is finished!” And hope was crucified.
The soldiers laughed and gambled for the robe that He had worn.
The women wept, His friends had fled.
Creation seemed to mourn.
-
They took His broken body down and carried Him away.
They laid Him in a borrowed tomb and then they sealed the grace.
The followers of Jesus hid, for Hope it seemed was dead.
Yet in their darkest hour would they remember what He said?
-
Chorus:
I will arise! I will arise!
Like the sun at dawn’s first light I will arise!
You can bury me that day, seal the tomb and turn away,
But the power of the grave will be denied.
I will arise!
-
His enemy, His ancient for content the deed was done,

stood upon the battlefield convinced that He had won.
As Satan rose in triumph to put away the sword,
From somewhere in the darkness came the Voice
He’d heard before.
-

Chorus
-
Death will have no victory, the grave will have no sting.
The promise of the Living One the whole world will see, will see!
-
Chorus (Repeat 2x)
-
I will arise!
I will arise!
