John 20

He is risen!

He is risen indeed!

MAJESTY
by Lola Cain

“A King who ruled in majesty”
That’s what people wanted him to be!
No crown of thorns or whip of shame
No cross on which to bear our blame
No nails, no spear, no agony
No death upon a criminal’s tree
No burial in a borrowed grave
…No resurrection power to save!

Thank God for His eternal plan
for justifying fallen man
He came as atoning sacrifice
in sending His Son to pay the price
Coming incarnate to earth to die

He redeemed His created from Satan’s lie
Thank you, Sacrificial Lamb,
…for overriding the will of man!

The veil was rent! God’s plan complete!
We now can worship at his feet!
We enter his presence unafraid
by the blood that Jesus shed to save!
Thank the LORD, he rose again
victory over death to win
Thank Father, Son and Holy Ghost
…an anthem sung by heavenly hosts!

“He’s risen,” we shout. “HE’S RISEN INDEED!”
The cornerstone of our Christian creed
And coming once, he’ll come again
his promised victory over sin
“It’s finished,” his final words on the cross
Our redemption sealed. Our salvation bought.
Now he reigns eternally
…what both God and man wanted him to be…

“A KING WHO RULES IN MAJESTY!”
Thank You, LORD!

 

Love, Lola
