The Light Will Shine Again

The sun came up and shone into the tomb where Christ was laid,

And the women coming to find their Lord were at first afraid.

But angels reassured them, saying there was no need to fear

For “Christ is risen as He said”, and “He is not here”.

With fear and joy they ran to tell disciples all they’d heard

Peter and John ran to the tomb on hearing the women’s word

Christ was risen from the dead, and was not in the tomb

But later showed Himself to them as they gathered in a room

He is Risen!  The body broken now was new again!

And everyone will have this gift, whether foe or friend.

He is Risen!  What good news that is for us today.

For Jesus came for all of us, and He shows us the way.

If we will choose to follow Him then He will lead us home.

It is for us and all our sins that He came to atone.

He loves us more than it is possible for us to understand

And it is for us He constantly is reaching out His hand.

One day the Lord will come again in power and great light

And morning sun will push out all the darkness of the night.

And every tomb will open, and give up those who have died

To rise again like Jesus after He was crucified.

Rejoice!  He’s risen as He said.  The battle has been won.

Rejoice!  For Father up in Heaven gave us His Holy Son.

Rejoice!  For love will win each battle raging in our day!

Rejoice!  For when He comes again the evil cannot stay!

So as the sun comes up and shines think of the empty tomb

And feel Christ’s love and joy and peace come right into your room.

He has risen!  He has conquered death, and the darkness of our sin.

If we stay with Christ, the dark will flee, and light will shine again.
