Living, Dying, Buried, Rising

Living He loved me

Called me his child

Spoke the word of life to me

Said that we are reconciled

Dying he took my place

My punishment he received

The penalty for sin was erased

For all who believe.

Buried to took away my sin

Down to the grave it was taken

So that a new life could begin

He was sealed in tomb, forsaken.

But rising  from that stone cold grave

Jesus showed he was mighty to save

The slain lamb is standing alive evermore

Now the lamb is the lion -Hear Him roar!

Living he loved me, dying he saved me

Buried he carried my sins far away

Rising he justified freely forever

One day he’s coming, oh glorious day!
