Arise My Love - NewSong

Not a word was heard

At the tomb that day

Just shuffling of soldiers feet

As they guarded the grave

One day, two days

Three days had past

Could it be that Jesus

Breathed His last?

Could it be that His Father

Had forsaken him?

Turned his back on his son

Dispising our sin

All hell seemed to whisper

«Just forget Him, He’s dead.»

Then the Father looked down

To his son and he said.

Arise, My love

Arise, My love

The grave no longer

Has a hold on you

No more death’s sting

No more suffering

Arise… Arise…my love

The Earth trembled

And the tomb began to shake

And like lightening

From Heaven the stone was rolled away

And as dead man

The guards they all stood there in fright

As the power of love

Displayed its might

Then suddenly a melody

Filled the air

Riding wings of wind

It was everywhere

The words all creation

Had been longing to hear

The sweet sound of victory

So loud and clear

Arise, my love

Arise, my love

The grave no longer has a hold on you

No more death’s sting

No more suffering

Arise… arise…

Sin, where are your shackles?

Death, where is your sting?

Hell;

has been defeated

The grave could not hold the king

Arise, My love

Arise, My love

The grave no longer

Has a hold on you

No more death’s sting

No more suffering

Arise… Arise…Arise
