Arise My Love

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
 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
