Lift Me Up....

Lift me up, so I can see
That cave up there
Beside the tree
The one with the stone rolled aside
Let me look, see what’s inside.

Mary says he’s no longer there
but how can that be?
I saw him crucified
I heard him cry out upon the cross
Saw his bloodied hands and side,
I felt the thunder and saw the flash
The moment that he died.

I watched them take him down
and wrap him in a cloth of white
I saw them lay him in the tomb
Just before the fall of night.

Life is cruel,
We are filled with despair
Lost is our hope
We have no strength for prayer.

So lift me up, I need to see
That an empty tomb is no place for me.
I can cast off my worries,
And walk in the “Son”
Knowing the battle is already won.
