He Shall Rise Again

He Shall Rise Again
By Lisa Noe

Oh glory be to He above
He is my Savior friend
With Him I do feel love
On Him I can always depend

The Lord my shepherd seeking truth
He forgives all my sins
He has watched over me since youth
And my troubles he mends

I shall always believe in Him
No matter what you say
He suffered then He rose again
They say on the third day

God sacrificed His only Son
Because He loved the world
He spoke it that it would be done
These words will He uphold

He will be back one day you’ll see
It’s promised in the Book
I only hope He will save me
From Heaven He will look

And all the people they will fear
For he will come with fire
And we will never know the year
Bow to Him He’s the sire

If you believe with all your heart
And ask for forgiveness
He’ll give you a new life to start
You will be His witness

He will come to take believers
Make war with enemies
And will destroy the deceivers
He’ll come with an army

A new world will He bring with Him
Where only good reside
Gives paradise on earth for them
The sinners they will hide

All of the world will bow to Him
Heaven's holiest King
For the sinners the lights will dim
for warriors he will bring.
