Close
Jesus is the resurrection and the life BY– Marina Zakary
We hold the cross close to our heart
As your precious body is torn apart
Seeing your blood-stained wooden cross
As Mary weeps over her loss
Jesus bore the stripes of pain
So that forgiveness of sins we can gain
But hope still doesn’t fade away
“Our Saviour is powerful” the people pray
On the Sunday, very early morning
Without any signal or warning
As the guards slumber in their sleep
A strong movement awoke them so they leap
There was a powerful and moving sound
That trembled and shook the ground
The stone was rolled away from the empty tomb
Declaring the rebirth from this gloom
His luminous light filled the land
His resurrection is so grand
He opened the gates of paradise
Because with His love He paid the price
Resurrection is my happy song
With His mighty power, He defeated all wrong
Jesus is the resurrection and the life
I’ve seen your mercy and love’s rife
We celebrate Jesus Christ’s resurrection
Which gave our lives meaning and direction
We received Christ in our heart
Sin’s gap can no longer take us apart
