Christ Arose

Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior!
Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!

Chorus:
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mightly triumph o'er His foes;
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
and He lives forever with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Savior!
Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord! Chorus

Death cannot keep his prey, Jesus my Saviour!
He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord! Chorus

The Lord is My Inheritance

"We must distingush carefully. It is one thing to be able to testify of forgiveness of debts. It is another to be able to sing:

The Lord is my inheritance,
The Lord alone remains
The fullness of my cup of bliss;
The Lord my lot maintains.
Psalter 27:4

Sometimes a soul will understand this. She will acknowledge that she possesses the first benefit, but will not always dare to say, "This other benefit is my portion as well." You must understand, however that you cannot receive the second benefit in any other way than the first, namely from out of the fullness of Christ...

Many never become richer in their experience, because they do not acknowledge their remaining need."

Gerard Wisse, from the book, Godly Sorrow.
