I serve a risen Savior

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 mercy;
  I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time I need Him
  He’s always near.
  He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
    He lives within my heart.
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.
3
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.

This Easter as most of us will worship a little differently; online, drive-through services, or with families at home, I'm grateful that we are 'scattered like salt' in our communities! We will miss not being in the same building, but we will be in the same Spirit with Christ, our Risen Savior: "God is Spirit and they who worship Him worship Him in Spirit and truth!" We worship in Spirit and praise Jesus, He is our Truth!

I love this song, from my childhood, going to church. I joyfully agree, with Elrin's, comment below, as I walk in my neighborhood singing this song.

"He lives"!

In the midst of Covid 19 pandemic, all the lock downs and silent streets, churches closed and families scattered for safety, praying for the infected, the frontline workers, for the political will, spiritual repentance and recovery and all my worries, I hear this song erupt from my lips. It spoke to me like never before and I sang it out loud. I feel so blessed and cannot walk away without saying, ‘He Lives!!! He lives!!! ’ And that’s why , We live with Him! Amen.

I am most blessed by the compilation of this song and share the songs to the whole world. I am most thankful and grateful to the person.

What a composer and what an individual person who has been so inspired to composed this son! It is heavenly inspired and it touches souls all across the entire GLOBE of Humanity.

The whole Heaven was EMPTY while Jesus dwells among us on Earth to rescue us from the grip of Sin. What a God of Mercy and Love who has bestowed upon each of us humans to accept this free offer of Eternity from Him.

It is my utmost prayers that we all shall willingly accept this Offer freely given to us by Jesus Christ and we shall always be ALIVE with Jesus Christ all the days of our lives. Indeed, Jesus LIVES.

I remember sing this beautiful hymn in Spanish when I was just 6 or 7 years old, and it brings me wonderful memories. And I love and worship my Lord and savior because he lives within my heart.

Singing this hymn today was such a blessing. Jesus Christ has changed my life in so many ways and all for the good of His purposes, His Church and a lost world. But also, because He loves me and I was lost in sin and captivity, almost always coping outside of Christ even after I was saved and became a Pastor. In His mercy He has set me free and delivered me from the power of the enemy and my selfish self. God be praised. Pastor D’s comment inspired me to make a comment. I too would be lost and ruined without Jesus Christ: my addictions were destructive and evil. In His great mercy, he waited till I came to the end of myself and met me there with His love and His power. I repented and surrendered and He has been shepherding me closely for ten years now. He’s taught me to operate in power and authority just like in the Bible to save lives and set captives free. He is real, alive and working. Just like in the Bible. Christian brothers and sisters, don’t give up, press in. There’s real rescue and liberty in Christ: and ability in His power to live a holy, pure, life. Persevere. Ask, seek, knock. He will answer, reveal and open the door to healing and deliverance. Don’t settle for a compromised Christian life. There is more. We are so blessed.

How much my life has changed in nearly 42 years of loving and serving JESUS . Addictions and slavery and hatred and self have all had to bow to HIS rule. When I accepted what HE had done on my behalf and surrendered my life to HIM I began to understand what " living " was. Because JESUS lives victorious whatever little trials and problems that come my way are conquered as I submit to HIM. Had HE not arose from the grave, I would not have walked away from a life of death and destruction. Praise GOD

Throughout the centuries, all the living servants of God have had this resurrected Christ living in them. I can also testify that He lives in me, enabling me to do what I never could do in myself. Hallelujah, the Lord Jesus lives! How do we know He lives? As the hymn says, we know He lives because He lives in us (Hymns, #503). We may be persecuted and opposed, and we may suffer very much. But we have the resurrected Christ in us. The more we are opposed, the more alive and active we become. Nevertheless, our testimony is this: Not I, but the grace of God with us.

Many Bible readers do not have this understanding of the word witness; even our understanding is not this deep. In Galatians 2:20 Paul said, "I am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me." This is the meaning of being a witness. A witness is a person who has Christ living in him. The chorus of a hymn says, "He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today! /...You ask me how I know He lives? / He lives within my heart" (Hymns, #503). His living in us proves that He has resurrected and that He is living.

This is a good hymn, and I appreciate it. The chorus says that we know Christ lives because He walks with us and talks with us. However, this is not as good as saying that we know Christ lives because He lives within our heart. In answer to the question, "How do you know Christ lives?" the chorus of this hymn answers, "He lives within my heart!" We know that the Lord lives not simply because He walks with us and talks with us, but because He lives in us.

How do you know Christ lives? You should answer this question by saying, "I know He lives because He lives in me." Likewise, if we are asked if we have seen the Lord Jesus, we should say, "Yes, I have seen the Lord, for He lives in me. Even while you are asking me this question, He lives in me. Because He lives in me, I see Him. Even now as I am speaking, I can see Him. While I am speaking to you, He is speaking to me. I am simply a transmitter speaking whatever He speaks to me."

The Lord's word, "Because I live, you shall live also," certainly was fully fulfilled on the day of Pentecost. When Peter stood up with the eleven, that was Christ in resurrection. Peter's speaking was also Christ in resurrection. If someone had asked Peter where Christ is, he might have said, "Christ is here. Don't you see me? If you see me, you see Christ because He lives in me."
