Come, see! The God of heaven
Is walking on this earth;
The angels He created
Announce His humble birth.
Come, see! The God of heaven
Is healing blind and lame
And making friends of outcasts
Who call upon His Name.
Come, see! The God of heaven
Is dying on the tree –
The innocent found guilty
To pardon you and me.

When Jesus rose in victory
It proved His work was done,
The debt for sin was paid in full,
And righteousness had won.
The check had cleared, the debt was gone,
My sin was washed away,
No wrath remained, no claim was owed –
He did it all that day.
And now I stand in Christ by grace
Complete, forgiven, free;
I’m justified and uncondemned
Since Jesus rose for me.
…
’Twas in my sinful yesterday
Christ rose again to save,
And in His rising up again
New life to me He gave.
Today God’s resurrection might
Is working now in me
To make me like the One I love
Whose grace I daily see.
Tomorrow He will raise me up
Like Jesus Christ my Lord
To live in immortality
And share His great reward.
…
It’s different since I know Him,
It’s personal to me
To watch the Savior’s triumph
And pain at Calvary.
I see my Friend so heavy
In anguish and distress
When yielding in the Garden
To take my sinfulness.
I see Him mocked and beaten,
Unjustly tried, condemned;
Yet like a Lamb He’s silent –
So regal to the end.
…
Come and see the tomb is empty,
Look inside and doubt no more;
Jesus lives our risen Savior –
He has opened heaven’s door.
Come, rejoice for death is vanquished,
Jesus broke its mighty hold;
Sin has lost its grip forever –
Now Christ’s triumph we behold.
Come and sing with those He rescued,
Join the hymn of joyful praise;
Jesus rose again the Victor –
Mighty Lord of endless days.
…
Psst, did you hear He rose again,
The One they lately crucified?
They paid me well to never say,
But there are things you shouldn’t hide.
I kept my post and watched the grave
But thought all night, ‘Who guards the dead?’
I’d seen His twelve, and when He died
They, to a man, had quickly fled.
But as the black of night gave way
To grey of dawn, a blinding light
Burst forth with strength I’d never known
And knocked me out without a fight.
