A Hymn for Easter
A Hymn for Easter 2024
In shadows deep where darkness dwells
Where silence boasts, and all fear hell,
I hear a bold and faithful cry,
“My Savior lives - and so shall I!”
Chorus
Christ lives, Christ lives, the Savior stands,
On Earth's expanse with outstretched hands.
He summons all to Come and Live -
Though flesh may fail, and days grow dim,
Yet found in him, we all shall live.
Yes, found in him, we all shall live.
The darkest night, the deepest pain,
Cannot the hope of Heaven stain
For He who rose, the grave defies,
My Savior lives, and so shall I!
Though legions march, a hellish clan,
They fall before the Son of Man.
His blood avails, and devils die.
My Savior lives, and so shall I!
Upon the earth, His feet shall stand,
The last day breaks at His command.
And though this body turns to dust,
Yet in my Savior will I trust.
Bridge
For He who rose, the grave defies,
My Savior lives, and so shall I!
My Savior lives, and so shall I!
And on that day when all’s restored
When all will bow and hail him Lord
He’ll call our name and we shall cry,
“My Savior Lives - and so do I!”
Chorus
Christ lives, Christ lives, the Savior stands,
On Earth's expanse with outstretched hands.
He summons all to Come and Live -
Though flesh may fail, and days grow dim,
Yet found in him, we all shall live.
Yes, found in him, we all shall live.
- David P Cassidy, Easter 2024
