Arise My Love

Not a word was heard from the tomb that day Just the soldiers feet as they guarded the grave One day, two days, three days had past Could it be that Jesus had breathed His last Could it be that the Father had forsaken Him Turned his back on his Son, despising our sin All hell seemed to whisper, "Forget Him He's dead" But the Father looked down on His Son and said CHORUS: Arise My Love, arise My Love The grave no longer has a hold on You No more death sting, no more suffering Arise, arise My Love The earth trembled and the tomb began to shake And like lightning from heaven the stone was rolled away And as dead men, the guards stood there in fright as the Power of love displayed its might When suddenly a melody filled the air Riding wings of wind it was everywhere The word all creation had been longing to hear The sweet sound of victory so loud and clear CHORUS BRIDGE: Sin… where are your shackles Death…where is your sting Hell had been defeated The grave could not hold the King
