Lyrics - He Is Risen by Smith Craig

Craig
Smith
Matthew 28:6
Prophets foretold the
Messiah would come
Born from the womb of a virgin
His name
Emmanuel,
God's chosen one
Many blind eyes would receive
Him
He spoke with authority,
He healed the lame
And the captive cries out to
His name
Chorus
He is risen
Just as
He said
He is risen
He is risen
Up from the dead
He is risen
He taught that the
Kingdom of
God was at hand
And that
He and the
Father are one
Preaching repentance throughout all the land
And redemption would be through the
Son
When the
Pharisees, they went into a rage
And plotted an end to
His days
Chorus
Beaten and mocked,
He would be crucified
The sentence of death
He carried
Thorns on
His head and a wound in
His side
He gave up
His breath and was buried
He rose from the grave the
Son of the
Highest
The
Horn of
Salvation is
Jesus
The one mediator between man &
God,
Jesus the
Lord
Chorus
He is risen
Light of the world
He is risen
The
Commander,
Messiah
Is risen
Son of the
Highest
He is risen
The great, mighty
God
Lord of all
Jesus is
God's fulfillment of
His promise given in the old testament.
Thatpromise was a substitute for the sin of each man, by the shed blood of
God's only
Son
Jesus.
Just as the prophet (
Isaiah 7:14) foretold.
God'schosen
One,
Immanuel was born of a virgin.
Even as a child of twelve
Heastonished the priest (
Luke 2:47) with the authority with which
He spoke.
His ministry did not actually begin until the age of thirty.
But in a span ofthree years his life changed the world forever.
He preformed numerousmiracles, healing the lame (
John 5:8), the blind (
Matthew 20:34) even raisingthe dead (
John 11:43-44).
Those trapped by sin, then and now, call on
Hisname to be set free.
His teaching was radical.
Speaking of such things as the kingdom of heavenis at hand (
Matthew 3:2), now is the day of salvation (2
Cor. 6:2), to know
Himwas to know the
Father (
John 14:7).
The theme of
His message focused on ourneed of repentance, and forgiveness of our sins.
He boldly stated
He wasthe only accepted path to forgiveness and fellowship with
God.
That unlessa man repent of his sins and receive
Jesus as his
Savior, he could notenter heaven (
Acts 4:12).
For this teaching
He enraged the
Pharisees, who jealously guarded thereligious control of the people.
Thus keeping them in bondage to a falselegalism.
This is what the
Bible in
Proverbs 14:12 tells us, the ways of manare the ways of death.
True to the prophesy of old,
He became the
Lambwithout a spot or blemish, to be sacrificed for our sin.
He who had known nosin (2
Cor. 5:21), was beaten, mocked, spit on, and crowned with a crown ofthorns.
Then in
His final act of obedience
He suffered the cross.
Giving up
His last breath
He accomplished what none of us ever could.
Jesus becamethe perfect and acceptable substitute for our sin.
Thus we now have anavenue to eternal life through
Jesus the
Messiah.
With the resurrectioncomes the crushing of the head of
Satan.
Death no longer has to meanseparation from
God.
Now as we turn to the
Risen
One, the
Mediatorbetween man and his
Creator, the
Horn of
Salvation, the
Light of the world,the
Commander, we share in
His victory of all eternity.--
