He is Risen
After sunset that fateful Saturday
The earth received her first signals
Of the cosmic and eternal realities
That occurred hours ago in Sheol.
The firmament shook in delight--
Yea, in awe, reverence and obedience.
Father Abraham and his bosom friends
Came up from their graves; and seeing
Jerusalem, walked the streets thereof.
A light breeze caressed the willowy trees
As they did obeisance to the risen One
Who now had the Keys of hell and death;
Even the birds felt the 'Release'
While the holy angels stood in awe.
But men for whom 'it' was done
Didn't believe, or care to understand.
Many wouldn't also understand
When on the day of Rapture,
A moment far more breathtaking
Than the resurrection hour,
We feel 'release' as we meet the LORD--
The Christ Yesshua in the air!
Glory!! Hallelujah!! Christ Jesus arose!!!
