"The moon and stars they wept,
The morning sun was dead -
The Savior of the world was fallen.
His body on the cross,
His blood poured out for us,
The weight of every curse upon Him.
One final breath He gave
As Heaven looked away.
The Son of God was laid in darkness.
A battle in the grave -
The war on death was waged -
The power of hell forever broken.
The ground began to shake;
The stone was rolled away!
His perfect love could not be overcome!
Now death where is your sting?
Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated!
Forever, He is glorified!
Forever, He is lifted high!
Forever, He is risen!
He is alive;
He is alive!
We sing hallelujah -
The Lamb has overcome!
Forever, He is glorified!
Forever, He is lifted high!
Forever, He is risen!
He is alive;
He is alive!"
I was listening to the radio on the way to work the other day, and the
song "Forever" (Kari Jobe) came on. I've heard it before, and it has
never failed to impact me.
The sad sweetness of the singer's voice is piercing in it's gentleness, as
she relates the heart-breaking news - the Savior is dead, and all nature mourns. But that's only a small part of the story, and her song soars in triumphant glory as the grave is rendered powerless, and the King rises to reign victorious.
I am reduced to nothing every time, in the face of the awesome Story.
In the hopes that it will be a blessing to you, and lift you up as the reminder of our victorious Savior has lifted me, I have shared it here. The words are above, and the YouTube lyric version below.
Hallelujah!
