The Morning (that changed everything) Has Broken

Happy, Glorious Easter to one and all!

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.

Come and see the place where he lay.

Matt.28:6

The morning that changed night to day has broken; praise His Name

Come, see! the grave where Jesus lay has been robbed of its claim

The wrath of God is satisfied; salvation’s plan fulfilled

And many will be justified through the blood God's Son spilled

The morning that turns tears of grief to leaps of joy prevails

Arise; let doubt turn to belief where God’s word never fails

Where from the darkness of the grave a new Light is unfurled

For He who is mighty to save has overcome the world

The morning that secures hope’s faith has broken; lift your head

This is the day we celebrate Christ risen from the dead

Death cannot dominate what Jesus’ Resurrection won

The verdict of the sinner’s fate rewritten by God’s Son

The morning that changed everything has broken; shout and sing

The cross of sorrow’s suffering leads to the risen King

Jesus, the one we crucified will pardon and forgive

For as in Adam we all died, in Christ we all will live

The morning of God’s glory has broken; let worship pour

Love’s everlasting story reigns through Christ forevermore

Grace suffered once for all; redemption’s darkest hour borne

Calvary’s gall has broken into Resurrection’s Morn

1 Cor.15:19-22

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have [b]fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive
