Out Of The Grave

(album: The Word - 1984)

Born of the Virgin Mary
Jesus came to die
So that we could heal again
God's perfect sacrifice
And right from the start
Satan pushed Him
In hopes that He would sin
And no longer qualify
To reclaim this world from him

He pushed Him in the desert
Tempted in every way
But Jesus used the spoken Word
To turn him away
For 33 years, he pushed Him
Pushed Him to Calvary
Where there he planned
To kill the Son of God
And ensure His victory

They spat upon my Jesus
Pushed and called Him names
And finally, they nailed Him to a tree
And hung Him there in shame
They laid Him in a borrowed tomb
Pushed the stone across the door
And finally, the war was over
Satan said, He's dead now
No need to push Him anymore

He came up out of the grave
And He lives today
Oh, nothing could hold Him
Kill or control Him
He pushed it out of His way
He came up out of the grave
My Conqueror and more
And though once He allowed it
My Jesus won't be pushed away

He came up out of the grave
My Conqueror and more
And though once He allowed it
My Jesus won't be pushed anymore
Anymore, He is Lord!
