His power, his position
Sacrificed at the feet of Jesus,
His one hope for salvation
To heal the one he loved...
 
He didn't think about consequences,
His love guided his steps,
He knew in his heart
Jesus was the only way...
 
He believed in Christ's power
His power to heal
He fell down in worship
At the feet of Jesus Christ...

Give up your power, your station,
Focus on the one thing,
Your need for Jesus,
for healing, for eternal life...
 
Fall at the feet of Jesus,
Offer Him your worship,
Only Jesus can heal us,
He can save us from death...
 
Worship the God here with us,
The Spirit abiding within,
Bring Him your pain, your weakness,
In Christ do we live...
 
There may be a cost in this life,
To reject the things of this world,
But oh, the reward is so much greater
When we fall before the Lord...

We do not hear
The rest of the story
their remaining journey
after they encountered the Christ...
 
History does not record
most of the lives Christ changed,
Most of them are not recorded
down to this day...
 
So many have been faithful
And yet we are forgotten
Only a precious few
are remembered in history...
 
We don’t hear
The rest of the story
after we encounter Christ
How He changes our lives...

the truth of this moment –
these witnesses testify –
Christ rose from the dead
and they believed...
 
help us to believe
for our faith is fickle,
make us to witness
to testify to life...
 
Christ is risen,
He is our Savior,
He is our living hope
in life and in death...
 
We are risen,
resurrected with Jesus,
We live already with Him
in the spiritual realm...
 
help us to believe
for our faith is fickle,

Before the cross, the Passion,
Before He washed His disciples' feet
even the feet of Judas, of Peter,
the one who betrayed Him,
the one who denied Him
all those who ran away...
 
Even before the manger,
His birth in a lowly stable
Christ became mortal
leaving eternity
a kernel of heaven
in Mary’s womb...
 
Fully God but fully Man,
folded into the smallest seed of humanity,
listening to the heartbeat of Mary,
Jesus, our Lord and Savior
As we were in the secret place
formed in our mother's womb...
 
A kernel of heaven
inside the bounds of time
living as we do, mortal,
nine months of quiet, of waiting,
Every child before they are born,
like our risen Lord and Savior...

gathered with them
the sisters of Lazarus
Mary and Martha,
whom Jesus loves...
 
the rabbi coming
Martha running to Him,
professing her faith
believing His identity...
 
a cloud of witnesses
cloistered around Mary
while sitting shiva
Lazarus bound in a tomb...
 
leaving their house
walking with the grieving Mary
with her when Jesus
calls Lazarus from the tomb...
 
a cloud of witnesses
facing the power of Jesus...
God here in the flesh
raising the dead to life...
 
no denying the miracle
the removing of his garments
Lazarus alive, breathing,
the air of Jesus’ healing...

He is not here – v2

He is not here, take heart,
he is risen like our Lord, Jesus,
his body here is but an empty shell,
we too will rise with him, triumphant,
when Christ gathers us home…
 
Words of hope, of life, eternal,
these words of our living faith,
righteous words of salvation,
peace for heart of his loved ones,
all those he has left behind…
 
He is not here with us,
he is alive in Christ Jesus,
we who are left behind hurt,
but he is no longer in any pain,
he is home now in heaven…

We Rise with Christ – v2

We rise with Christ,
We are resurrected with Him,
We are freed of the Blood,
the stain of our Sin.
 
We rise with Christ,
We too our Victors,
We are risen Children,
of the Most High God.
 
We rise with Christ,
We have life within Him,
We are gifted Eternity,
through His perfect Sacrifice.
 
We rise with Christ,
We too our Victors,
We are risen Children,
of the Most High God.

If we die with Christ – v3

If we die with Christ,
We will rise with Him,
If we take up our cross,
We will rise with the Christ,
If we live out our calling,
We will rise on wings like eagles,
If we follow our purpose in life,
We will walk and not grow weak.
 
We will walk and not grow weak,
If we follow our purpose in life,
We will rise on wings like eagles,
If we live out our calling,
We will rise with the Christ,
If we take up our cross,
We will rise with Him,
If we die with Christ.

Christ knew Thomas’ heart – v2

Christ told Thomas to touch His hands,
to put his hands in His side,
the words Thomas had spoken,
only to the other disciples,
in secret, in the upper room…
 
Christ knew Thomas’ heart,
the words he had spoken,
in secret, in the upper room,
Christ made a way, a path,
for Thomas to believe…
 
Christ loved Thomas, all who doubt,
Jesus spoke into his heart,
echoing the words he had spoken,
in secret, in the upper room,
so that he would believe…
