Waiting for the Rising Son



1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”

As I wait for the Son to rise,
	for hope to soar through the skies
for the light of the world to shine	
		so that grace and love are mine…

I hear the tears His followers cried
	as they washed the body of Him who died
for love that means our souls live on
		long after our bodies have gone.

As I wait for this day to by,
	feeling the lonely in my cry
I lift my eyes, seeking the One
		who brought love from the Son.

I see the wonder so amazing
	my lips just keep on praising,
as I sing to the Father who will surely save
		leaving an empty grave.

As I wait for three days to pass
	the moments tick by, to amass
more light than a heart can reflect
		with a love that is always perfect.

I see the still, so gentle and sure
	reaching through shadows, a cure
for all the darkness that abides
		beneath the changing tides.

As I wait, for three long days
	my heavy heart surely pays
remembering the love in His grace,
		oh, how I miss His embrace!

I know that Jesus is the light
	that taught me wrong from right
His love has been my guide
		throughout, oh how I’ve tried…

to hear His word, His voice
	revealing my only choice
the hope that made a way
		so I can always say…

when He came back from the grave
	my heart, my soul, He did save
and I know what it means to believe
		in love that can’t deceive –

He is the One who came to say
	I am giving you a gift – you won’t pay
even when you crucify me on a tree
		I’ll still save you and it’s completely free!

He is the One who came to say
	I’m leaving you with love that is the only way
wherever you go, whatever you do
		this love will always come through.

He is the One who came to say
	listen, my child and just pray
you’ll soon meet the One who rose to say
		I destroyed the darkness – that was yesterday…

Today is a new day, a new chance to say
LOVE is the story that God wrote that day!
