He is living again Who was nailed to the cross, This message proclaim far and near; The stone is rolled back, dry your eyes, weeping ones, Why seek ye the Living One here? He appears to His own, shows His hands and His feet, As they wonder with fear and great joy; He talks and He eats in that body of flesh, The body Death sought to destroy. In that same belov'd form, from Mount Olivet's brow, In a cloud Christ ascendeth on high; There He stands in my place, there a Man pleads for me, His blood to my God makes me nigh. Whne He comes back to earth in great glory and pow'r, This very same Jesus shall reign; Then in bodies like His we will triumph o'er death, Because He is living again. - Mable Johnston Camp March 1989 "The Gospel Standard" |
