The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” Matthew 28:5-7 (NIV)
Love Crucified Arose
Written and Preformed by Michael Card
Long ago He blessed the earth
Born older than the years
And in the stall a cross He saw
Through the first of many tears
A life of homeless wandering
Cast out in sorrow’s way
The Shepherd seeking for the lost
His life, the price He paidLove crucified, arose
The Risen One in splendor
Jehovah soul Defender
Has won the victory
Love crucified, arose
And the grave became a place of hope
For the heart that sin and sorrow broke
Is beating once againThroughout Your life You felt the weight
Of what You’d come to give
To drink for us that crimson cup
So we might really live
At last the time to love and die
The dark appointed day
That one forsaken moment
When Your Father turned His face awayLove crucified, arose
The One who lived the died for me
Was Satan’s nail-pierced casualty
Now He’s breathing once againLove crucified, arose
And the grave became a place of hope
For the heart that sin and sorrow broke
Is beating once againLove crucified, arose
The Risen One in splendor
Jehovah soul defender
Has won the victoryLove crucified, arose
And the grave became a place of hope
for the heart that sin and sorrow broke
is beating once againLove crucified, arose
The One who lived and died for me
Was Satan’s nail-pierced casualty
Now He’s breathing once again
Love the line “and the grave became a place of hope.” Thanks for reminding me of this song.
