I SING BECAUSE

Matthew 28

Jesus Has Risen

 ¹ After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

 ² There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. ³ His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. ⁴ The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

 ⁵ The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. ⁷ Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

 I SING BECAUSE

Verse 1
I’ve Been Singing ‘Bout my Lord for so many years
I’ve Sung when I’ve been happy
Even Sung When I’ve had Tears
I’ve even had Folks ask me
If It’s All Been Just A Show
But the Reason That I’m Singing
I Want the World to Know

Chorus
I Sing Because There is an Empty Grave
I Sing Because There is the Power to Save
I Sing Because His Grace is Real to Me
I Sing Because I Know I’m Not Alone
I Sing Because Someday I’m Going Home
Where I Shall Sing Through All Eternity

Verse 2
I’ve Sung to Those Walking Through the Fiery Trial
I’ve Watched Their Saddened Faces Turn Into Happy Smiles
I’ve Bowed my Head and Whispered
Lord, Please do the Same For Me
And I’m Glad That I Can Tell You
He’s Always Given Victory

Chorus
I Sing Because There is an Empty Grave
I Sing Because There is the Power to Save
I Sing Because His Grace is Real to Me
I Sing Because I Know I’m Not Alone
I Sing Because Someday I’m Going Home
Where I Shall Sing Through All Eternity
Tag
I Sing Because Someday I’m Going Home
Where I Shall Sing Through All Eternity

I don't know how to sing this song but I like to share the lyrics.

The empty grave is the foundation of our faith.  All the books of the Old Testament and what God has led Prophets and Men of Faith to testify in the scriptures would have been in vain.  We would all have been the most pitiful people, waving a banner of false doctrine.


But Jesus, in all the Glory of the Father, who sent Him, did it all........ He rose and He lives forevermore and is seated in Heaven at the right side of the Father, crowned and glorified.  I shall await the perfection of His promises.... to be with Him.  I have a hope to rise again, in my incorruptible form........ "I can face tomorrow, Because He lives..... All fear is gone!"     Death has been denied!

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!
