I Tell you a Mystery

A man once crucified now lives!
How can this be?
In Jerusalem that day

thousands witnessed His
death. Now He lives!

How can this be?
He was laid in a tomb and guards
stood watch as in death He lay.
Why guard a dead man's tomb?

On the fist day of the week, 

an angel of the LORD 
broke open the tomb

and the guards fell over in fear.

Who is this man whose death has
caused such a commotion?

Witnesses have seen Him

and watched Him ascend into Heaven

surrounded by angels. Who is this man?
He is God! His name is Jesus!
He is our Salvation!

I tell you a mystery.
