The Pendragon's Hall

Happy Resurrection Sunday, everyone! Christ is risen! The rest of the story of the movie "The Passion" is hinted at in the final scene. The grave clothes deflate and the risen Lord strides out of the tomb, nail-scarred hands hanging at His side. In fairness to Michael Card, whose song I borrowed for political application yesterday, if the stupid blogger printed it, I will let him speak for himself today on the most important event in History. Remember the words of C.S. Lewis: "I believe in the resurrection as I believe in the sun rising: Not only because I see it but because by it I can see everything else."

Long ago He blessed the earth, born older than the years
And in the stall the cross He saw, through the first of many tears.
A life of homeless wandering, cast out in sorrow's way--
A shepherd seeking for the lost, His life the price He paid:
Love crucified arose, the risen One in splendor;
Jehovah's sole defender has won the victory!
Love crucified arose and the grave became a place of hope
For the heart that sin and sorrow broke is beating once again.

Throughout Your life You felt the weight of what you'd come to give;
To drink for us the crimson cup that we might really live;
At last the time to love and die, the dark, appointed day--
That one forsaken moment when Your Father turned His face away.
Love crucified arose, the One who lived and die for me,
Was Satan's nail-pierced casualty; now He's breathing once again.
Love crucified arose and the grave became a place of hope
For the heart that sin and sorrow broke is beating once again!
