Arise My Love

Arise My Love - NewSong

Not a word was heard

At the tomb that day

Just shuffling of soldiers feet

As they guarded the grave

One day two days

Three days had past

Could it be that Jesus

Breathed His last

Could it be that His Father

Had forsaken him

Turned his back on his son

Despising our sin

All hell seemed to whisper

"Just forget Him He's dead "

Then the Father looked down

To his son and said

Arise My love

Arise My love

The grave no longer

Has a hold on you

No more death's sting

No more suffering

Arise Arise my love

The Earth trembled

And the tomb began to shake

And like lightening

From Heaven the stone was rolled away

And as dead man

The guards they all stood there in fright

As the power of love

Displayed its might

Then suddenly a melody

Filled the air

Riding wings of wind

It was everywhere

The words all creation

Had been longing to hear

The sweet sound of victory

So loud and clear

Arise my love

Arise my love

The grave no longer has a hold on you

No more death's sting

No more suffering

Arise arise

Sin where are your shackles

Death where is your sting

Hell; has been defeated

The grave could not hold the king

Arise My love

Arise My love

The grave no longer

Has a hold on you

No more death's sting

No more suffering

Arise Arise Arise
