Rejoice, For He has Risen

Rejoice, for He has risen,
And all those who know Him, listen,
He lived and died and rose again,
It rings throughout the ages, Amen.

He lives within our hearts,
And everyday His love imparts,
Salvation's saving power,
And we praise Him every day and every hour.

He foretold us long ago,
So that later we would know,
Of Jesus' sacrifice,
And only His blood would pay the price.

We have remembered as we drank the wine,
And break the bread, that our Lord, Divine,
Did crush the serpent's head and his power defeat,
When blood flowed from His head, His hands, His side, His feet.

Rejoice, with those who have seen Him,
Because He rose and broke sin's chains and gave us freedom.
For those who have not seen Him can only anticipate His return,
But until then we can watch and pray and learn.
