Arise, My Love

Not a word was heard at the tomb that day
Just shuffling soldier's feet as they guarded the grave
One day, two days, three days had passed
Could it be that Jesus had breathed His last
Could it be that His Father had forsaken Him
Turned His back on His Son, despising our sin
All hell seemed to whisper, "Just forget Him, He's dead"
Then the Father looked down to His Son and 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 lightning from the heavens the stone rolled away
And as dead men 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
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
