there is more to the story

there is more to the story
the cross, the tomb
the darkness of Friday
the anguish of Christ’s words
of Thursday night

there is more to the story
it didn’t end then,
not on Saturday,
in the quiet, the sorrow
in the tomb where he lay

there is more to the story
There is Life, victory
Christ rose from the grave
a moment; but, Christ lives
Christ rose and walked with us

He told us to preach, to share
to make disciples of all the nations
not just for fun, for sport;
but for a purpose, a plan
for the harvest to come, because
He promised and He will keep His promise
He will return, to gather us
to redeem us, to raise us
to bring us home
