The Passion Week - Sunday!!!!!!

UP FROM THE GRAVE HE AROSE!

Friday was awful. Saturday painful. But, had they knew, had they understood what He had told them - Sunday was coming! And when it came what a glorious day it was! Our sin debt had been paid! The payment was accepted! And our great High Priest stepped from behind the veil and our sin was gone! GONE! Never to be held against us again. We were accepted in the Beloved. Words pale to express our great and glorious release. To celebrate this day, join me in singing this grand old hymn, this fantastic reminder of what transpired that day over 2000 years ago! 

Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior,
waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!
Up from the grave he arose;
with a mighty triumph o'er his foes;
he arose a victor from the dark domain,
and he lives forever, with his saints to reign.
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior,
vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord! Up from the grave he arose; 
with a mighty triumph o'er his foes; 
he arose a victor from the dark domain, 
and he lives forever, with his saints to reign. 
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose! 

Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior;
he tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord! Up from the grave he arose; 
with a mighty triumph o'er his foes; 
he arose a victor from the dark domain, 
and he lives forever, with his saints to reign. 
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose! 

Prayer: Father, words fail me as I consider that day, that wonderful day. I can live forever with You because of what Jesus did. I am set free. I am forgiven. I am restored. I am alive, I am alive, I am alive because He is alive! My praises cannot contain themselves. I worship You with my whole being. Amen.
