BOW BEFORE THE LORD - MIDI

 

 

"The Hope of the World"

An Empty Tomb...

a Stone Rolled Away

Speak of the Saviour

who rose Easter Day...

But that was centuries

and centuries ago,

And we ask today

Was It Really So?

 

 

Did He walk on earth

and live and die

And return to His Father

To Dwell on High?

We were not there to hear or see,

But our hopes and dreams

of Eternity

Are centered around

The Easter Story

When Christ ascended

and rose in glory...

 

 

And life on earth

has not been the same,

Regardless of what

the skeptics claim...

For after the Lord

was crucified,

Even the ones who had

scoffed and denied

Knew that something

had taken place

That nothing could ever

remove or erase...

 

 

For Hope was born

in the soul of man,

And Faith to believe

in God's Master Plan

Stirred in the hearts

to dispel doubt and fear

And that Faith has grown

with each passing year...

For the Hope of Man

is The Easter Story,

For life is robbed

of all meaning and glory

Unless man knows

that he has a "goal"

And "resting place"

for his searching soul.
