I thank the Lord for increasing the desire in me until I finally resorted to Google (I am generally a non-fan of monopolies) and FOUND the lyrics to this song! It has always been deeply entwined with my joy when I've contemplated the reality of the Resurrection. I have come to discover this reality is a daily occurrence in my own soul, if I'll allow it. THANK YOU web designers, too, for building this bridge for me and many others to find.
The reason for this song is the hope and strength of our Faith today, for if Christ had not arose from the dead, we would not have been believers today. I love this hymn, and also I celebrate the composer, may God honour him.
