(A song about Jesus' death/resurrection)
"Risin up,"
That's what He said,
"It's My time, let's commence this.
In 3 days, I will be back from the dead;
There's a plan to fulfill in the line."
So many times,
He talked in the past,
About His passion and glory.
Just like the grain used for wheat has to die;
It must die so the wheat can arise. {What?}
He said,
"I have to die first, to fulfill all the signs,
Risin up through the power of My Father.
When the last lonely hours come, you'll know I was right;
And I warned you before this day IIIII!
Have to die first..."
Facin death, in Gethsemane
Sweatin blood, feelin lonely
He prayed to God,
"You can take this from Me, if You will,"
But He still had to die.
He said,
"I have to die first in this terrible fight,
Risin up through the power of My Father.
In the last lonely hours I've been prayin tonight,
And I want you to know this day IIIII!
Have to die first..."
{Love that legendary riff}
Risin up;
Hate-filled, the mob
Took our Lord up to Calv'ry
They read His sentence; He was nailed to the cross
But the Man that they killed is alive!
He said,
"I have to die first; it's a strange way to fight,
Risin up through the power of My Father.
In the last hour I'm risin, puttin the devil to flight,
And I warned you before this day IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
Have to die first!"
{RIFF} "But I have to die first." HE IS RISEN!
