Already Raptured – v3


Christ already risen
our lives with him
down into the grave
up to the skies

A new perspective
a new guiding, a message
teaching us words of joy
to think of today, and tomorrow
with God ever, evermore

Living in the kingdom
already raptured
by the blood
of our risen Lord

We are healed,
whole with Him
already raptured
only waiting
for our reward
