The Resurrection, The Life – John 11:25-26
The resurrection
The life
What more could we need
This is Christ
The resurrection and the life
In Him we live
For in Him we have died
To ourselves
That we may rise
Within Him
He has promised
We shall never die
To eternity
Together
We shall will live
Empty Grave
So there is still an empty grave
Yet we’re still looking
For a place to lay
Upon the end of life
Counting our days
Don’t we know?
The time is now
The time to die
And be raised again
The grave is empty
Not waiting for us
So live a life
A life with Christ
Who rose from the grave
To put an end to death
Raised To Life – John 11:25-26
Upon that dusty road
On scarred hands and knees
He carried the Cross
In the face of His death
There He gave His life
For the sins of the world
Then upon the third
He rose from the grave
Conqueror of death
To redeem each of our souls
So through our Lord
We die upon that Cross
And in the resurrection
With Him we receive life
But only those who believe
Those who see His face
And call Him Lord
Yet to all this is the promise
At the tearing of the veil
All can call upon His name
Accept Him as their saviour
It’s the glory of our Christ
The promise of new life for us all
So I pray their eyes will be opened
I pray their minds will be freed
To see our Saviour’s face
To call upon His name
John 11:25-26
Taste Life
I tasted defeat
The pain of it all
I conversed with death
Arranged a time to meet
In shadows I writhed
The pain of it all too much
But in all this I never tasted life
Not until I felt His touch
PRECIOUS
Precious are they
That have held my hand
That I’ve watch grow
From the time they came
And said hello to this world
Precious are the moments
I spend with them
As together we danced
Between the waves
And across the shifting sands
Precious are they
That the Lord has bless me with
The hearts I shower love upon
Under the protection
And guidance of our Lord
Precious are they
The lives the Lord has blessed us with
The Gift (James 1:17)
Are you lost to the world
Has it taken all you had
Yet you have nothing in return
Worn out by the process
Of a tired and weary life
Lift your eyes to heaven
To the Father’s loving eyes
He has a gift awaiting you
His gift of abundant life
Trust in Him and He will freely give
(Part 2 of 7)
James 1:17
Matthew 7:7
I am so thankful that my knock was heard and the door was opened to a new way and a new life.
OPEN DOOR by CIRCLESLIDE
I’ve been on this journey so long, been through it all
walking my soul’s hall…
blinded by my tempted vision
seeing the names
on every knob and frame
the names of the lies
meant to disguise
the doors may be open-wide…are they meant for me?
you show me
in moments of doubting
i’m destined to find your glory
your open door
even though i’m falling
draw me closer
i’m desperate to find your glory
i know that you’re… the open door for me
i sit in rooms where there’s debts to pay
like a man chained to tracks of a southbound train
enticed by all the crooked roads that lead me nowhere
the story’s the same only the names have changed
the names of the lies
meant to disguise
this door is never closed
‘cause you died for me…
the open door for me…
the open door for me…
you are the Way, you are the Truth, you are the Life
you’re the open door for me…
the journey may be long, but at the end of it all…
you’re the only the door for me
