Hallelujah! Christ Arose

Luke 24:5-6  And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

When Jesus arose, He defeated death, hell, and the grave. Because Jesus lives I can face anything, because He's my Lord and Savior.

At Easter Sunday services I always look forward to accompanying the congregation on the piano as they sing  “Up from the grave He arose” .  I get excited because He is risen. He is risen indeed.

Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior;

he tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave he arose;

with a mighty triumph o'er his foes;

he arose a victor from the dark domain,

and he lives forever, with his saints to reign.

He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
