HE HAD TO RISE
To listen: https://bit.ly/HehadtoRise
Verse 1
He didn’t have to open the eyes of the blind
To prove that He was Lord
And He knew they’d still doubt Him if He fed five thousand
With the lunch of one little boy
To cleanse every leper wouldn’t settle forever
The fact, that God had come down
There’d be only one proof that He was telling the truth
When His body was laid in the ground
Chorus:
He had to Rise (He had to Rise)
To show He was Holy (to show He was God)
He had to Rise (He had to Rise)
To finish the story
To pardon iniquity He had to die
But to bring me the victory
He had to Rise
Verse 2
If He were not living, I’d be forever bound
By the chains of evil and by strife
And if He had not risen, there’d be no hope for Heaven
No chance for eternal life
But, since He has conquered death’s sting forever
I now have reason to shout
‘Cause from a dark lonely tomb the brightest sunlight broke through
When my Savior came walking out
