He hung on the cross
Knowing for this he came,
For you and for me
Glory to his name!
“Father forgive them
They know not what they do.”
All part of salvation’s plan
For me and for you.
“Truly this was God’s Son,”
The centurion did say
Words that are remembered
Even up to this day.
They buried him in a grave
That was not even his own
And there he lay
Having left his throne.
He rose triumphantly
The gave couldn’t hold him down,
Death he defeated
He again wears his crown.
None saw him rise
But many saw him alive,
Which proves it was nothing
That somebody contrived.
On the Emmaus road
Two disciples with him walked
And they too were convinced
As they with him talked.
Thomas touched his wounds
He required such proof,
And when he did
He confessed the truth.
These saw him ascend
And the angels they heard,
“He is coming in like manner.”
Accept their word.
He is coming again
For those who are prepared,
We are not sure when
It could be far or near.
What we do know is
That he came before
And today he is standing
Knocking at someone’s door.
Open your heart
And let Jesus come in,
That is the only way
You can be saved from your sin.
Believe him in your heart
And confess with your mouth
And like Zacchaeus
He will come to your house.
He will make it his temple
And dwell in you there
And you’ll go to be with him
When he shall appear.
Prepare to meet thy God
Amos had declared,
That same calls goes out today
To people everywhere.
Two comings there must be
One has gone,
The second is on the way
We need to be warned.
It may be while we are living
Or sometime after instead
But we cannot make a decision
After we are dead.
Whether Jesus comes or calls
You must be prepared,
Let neither of these two
Take you unawares.
For this cause he came
To redeem the elect
And he is coming again
Whether or not you expect.
He will take to himself
Those that are his own
And there they will worship
Before his throne.
