Vengeance Rising From The Dead Lyrics

[L. Farkas / R. Martinez]

The chief priests required the tomb to be secured
The Pharisees were with them,
Pilate was a__ure
There would be no rising,
as He had said
On the third day,
from the dead

Now after the Sabbath,
(first day of the week)
Mary went down to the tomb,
there was a great quake.
And an angel descended to roll back the stone
To serve almighty Jesus
who sits now on the throne

His countenance like lightning,
His clothing white as snow.
The guards shook in fear of Him,
as dead men they did know.

He had risen as it is to this day,
all false religions this they will not say.
Once Lucifer, now Satan, shaking in his boots,
was totally defeated right to the roots

[Solos]

[Re-Intro]

The Son of Man was delivered into the hands of sinful men
To be crucified, and on the third day rise again

This is the basis for the Christian creed
There was a resurrection,
the truth on which we feed.
If you choose to reject it you'll face judgement in the end
And He proved all He said by raising from the dead.

His countenance like lightning,
His clothing white as snow.
The guards shook in fear of Him,
as dead men they did know.

Once Lucifer, now Satan, shaking in his boots,
was totally defeated right to the roots

This was no deception as some have said
Jesus Christ the Victor, raised from the dead
The total penalty of sin is our only claim to fame
And repentance and remission of it is only by His name

He is risen!
