He Arose in A Cloud

Jesus came to earth and was tortured for so very long,
Then one day I realized this, and my life became a song,
He was imprisoned for all the wickedness of this old world of sin,
But, God sent His only Son to pardon us, that we might live again.

He came as a man that He could show us how to live a sinless life,
He climbed a hill bearing a Cross, having so much earthly strife,
Then he performed Miracles for all to see that He was from God indeed,
And taught many upon a hilltop, as fishes the people He did feed

His story is long and true, thirty years upon this earth, to save you and me,
From our sins, so we might be with this Christ throughout eternity,
His love was a joy, from when a little boy, who amazed the elders in the synagogue,
By questions He asked, and then answered, about his Father, our loving God.

He wore a crown of thorns about His head that day, when He hung upon a Cross,
They scourged Him and beat Him until he bled for us, not to suffer loss,
Nails through His precious hands and feet, oh the agony He must have had,
But after three days, He arose to Heaven in a cloud, Praise God, I’m so glad.

If we confess Him, we’ll have our sins all paid, through the sacrifice He made,
From a newborn in a stable to a Savior on the cross, come to me he bade,
He said, through me you will have life, and it will be more abundantly,
And when I knew He arose in a cloud, I knew I would accept Him through eternity.
