When He Rose

[Verse 1]
I still smell the salt upon the sea
Still hear the rooster haunting me
I swore I’d die before I’d run
But fear broke loose and I was undone
Three times I turned my face away
Three times I cursed His holy name
Yet on the shore beside the flame
He called me brother just the same

[Chorus]
And I watched Him rise beyond the clouds
Nail-scarred hands still reaching out
King of Heaven, Lamb once slain
Now forever Christ shall reign
The mountain shook beneath my feet
Mercy standing there complete
Death defeated, stone undone
Glory to the Risen One

[Verse 2]
He opened up the ancient scrolls
Spoke the fire into our souls
Said the promise now would come
Power falling like the sun
“Feed My sheep and stand your ground
Take this gospel to the towns
Chains will break and kings will fall
Carry My name before them all”

[Chorus]
And I watched Him rise beyond the clouds
Nail-scarred hands still reaching out
King of Heaven, Lamb once slain
Now forever Christ shall reign
The mountain shook beneath my feet
Mercy standing there complete
Death defeated, stone undone
Glory to the Risen One

[Bridge]
Not abandoned
Not alone
He ascended to the throne
At the right hand of the Father
Christ exalted ever after
Trumpets waiting
Skies will part
Till that day we take His heart
To the broken, lost, and weak
Every nation hears Him speak

[Final Chorus]
I watched Him rise beyond the clouds
Heaven roared and angels bowed
Lion of Judah, Holy Son
Seated now beside the One
Though my bones return to dust
Still my soul will sing in trust
For the grave could never hold
The Shepherd of my soul
