Matthew 28:1-10
What is the result of Christ’s resurrection?
What does the resurrection of Jesus Christ mean for us?
He Lives
~ Alfred H. Ackley
Verse 1
I serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today
I know that He is living, whatever men may say
I see His hand of mercey, I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him He’s always near
Chorus
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life’s narrow way
Chorus 2
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
Verse 2
In all the world around me I see His loving care
And though my heart grows weary I never will despair
I know that He is leading, through all the stormy blast
The day of His appearing will come at last
Verse 4
Rejoice, rejoice O’ Christian, lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ, the King
The hope of all who seek Him, the Help of all who find
None other is so loving, so good and kind
