Prologue
Here in the empty and the darkness,
God created everything in blessedness,
Even after He made all things good, beauty and true,
Man sinned, bringing back the dark anew.
In the darkness we sinned wantonly,
Some walking proudly and immorally,
Some content with being an imposter,
Looking good outside, dirty in the interior.
Jesus Came
As we were lost in death and judgment
Our sins overwhelming no good thing remnant
Jesus came down on earth from heaven
Born of a virgin, in a world trouble-laden
Veiled in flesh the Godhead seen
Walked among us, setting captives free
His holiness exposing our darkened souls
Thus we held Him guilty for our woes.
Jesus Died
So on the cross Jesus hung
With the world, our shrilling voices rung
Crucify Him, crucify Him we all declared
For His death God hath prepared.
Why did Jesus have to die?
Oh that my sins may be left to lie
On Calvary’s cross my debt He paid
So I the sinner can be remade
Jesus Arose
On the tomb He laid, three days indeed
Not fainted, pretending, for die He did
Yet death and the grave could not hold
For He rose again, alive as foretold
Why did Jesus rise again from the dead?
So that you who believe might not be in dread,
For in His death we die as He did
In His new life we are remade indeed
Jesus Ascended
For forty days Jesus was seen alive
By the disciples and by more than 500 lives
After proving His resurrection, He ascended on high
Entrusting the Holy Spirit to the disciples left by
Before leaving Jesus gave a commission
Go and make disciples, that is your mission
Teach them all things you have been tasked
That’s our marching orders, our King has asked
Jesus Reigns
At the right hand of God, Jesus is there
Interceding for us, on the burdens we bear
Because He is our advocate before the Father
You can draw near, and not stay farther
His Gospel will go throughout the world,
His kingdom will forward with his people, young and old,
Men will bow down to Him, men will rebel
He the only King, that we will tell.
Jesus will Return Again
Why should we care about this Jesus?
Can we not live my life in a way that pleases us?
We care because at first He cared
Giving His life so that from judgment we be spared
His wrath for sinners is due whenever He returns
His judgment is once, there are no other turns
Turn from your sins as long as it is called today
Repent and believe in Jesus Christ this I pray.
