Song For Easter

I may have posted all or part of this before, but I thought as my Easter blog column I'd print the lyrics to this song I wrote with Chad Lewis a few months ago:

Precious Jesus, Lord of All

Jesus, more than lowly servant -- More than teacher of the law.
More than sacrificial hero -- Nothing less than lord of all.
Three days gone inside a cavern, sealed in with a heavy stone.
By his death made sinners welcome to the altar of God’s throne.

Lord of all. Lord of all. Precious Jesus, Lord of all.
Lord of all. Lord of all. Precious Jesus, Lord, Lord of all.

Body raised on Easter morning. Seen by friends for forty days.
Hundreds marveled as he taught them. Proved his claim over the grave.
Servant-teacher, hero risen -- God Who Saves and God Who Reigns.
Ascended to the clouds of heaven just as He had preordained.

Lord of all. Lord of all. Precious Jesus, Lord of all.
Lord of all. Lord of all. Precious Jesus, Lord, Lord of all.

Surer than each morning’s sunrise is Messiah’s glad return.
Vainly will His foes assemble; vainly will the devil run.
Jesus and the saints of heaven will crush the forces of decay.
Then, an everlasting kingdom. Perfect love and endless day.

Lord of all. Lord of all. Precious Jesus, Lord of all.
Lord of all. Lord of all. Precious Jesus, Lord, Lord of all.
