Lyrics Arise My Love - The Imperials

Arise My Love

Not a word was heard
At the tomb that day
Just shuffling of soldiers feet
As they guarded the grave
One day, two days
Three days had past
Could it be that Jesus
Breathed His last?
Could it be that His Father
Had forsaken him?
Turned his back on his son
Dispising our sin
All hell seemed to whisper
«Just forget Him, He’s dead.»
Then the Father looked down
To his son and he said.
Arise, My love
Arise, My love
The grave no longer
Has a hold on you
No more death’s sting
No more suffering
Arise… Arise…my love
The Earth trembled
And the tomb began to shake
And like lightening
From Heaven the stone was rolled away
And as dead man
The guards they all stood there in fright
As the power of love
Displayed its might
Then suddenly a melody
Filled the air
Riding wings of wind
It was everywhere
The words all creation
Had been longing to hear
The sweet sound of victory
So loud and clear
Arise, my love
Arise, my love
The grave no longer has a hold on you
No more death’s sting
No more suffering
Arise… arise…
Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell;
has been defeated
The grave could not hold the king
Arise, My love
Arise, My love
The grave no longer
Has a hold on you
No more death’s sting
No more suffering
Arise… Arise…Arise
