Resurrection, what’s the real stake in this claim

If Christ be not raised, our faith is in vain

The whole church’s time’s a waste and a shame

If He be not risen, our sins still remains

[Verse 1: Evangel]

It’s an important issue and this bothers me

How men try to dismiss it like mythology

Scripture’s getting no respect, I guess we’re supposed to sweat

Like y’all really pose a threat

Don’t even hold your breath, ‘cause we’re believing like Stephen

Even if we’re getting stoned to death

Killed like how they pistoled Lincoln

The President, it’s evident it’s not just wishful thinking

Being casualties would be a travesty

If they didn’t eyewitness His majesty

But Christ is standing at the right hand and glad to see

Bloodshed for the Pharisees and Sadducees

That’s the kind of faith men claims fake

The same faith that made them suffer for Jesus’ name sake

Even Peter who denied Christ when they got hostile

After Christ was resurrected, He gave His life for the Gospel

The Church is built on the foundation of Apostles and prophets

Hell’s gates can’t stop it! But you mock it

Perhaps it seems that y’all ain’t getting the facts like a fax machine

They were thrown to the lions and ate for sport

Set on fire to illuminate their courts

For a lie, why would they try to waste their breath

Let alone try facing death

The foundation of our belief and most pivotal

If false of all men we’d be the most pitiful

Since Christ was raised, we’ll be, that’s so dope

We don’t have to sorrow like those who have no hope

No getting down like a slope, we’re merry instead

Jesus Christ said “let the dead bury the dead!”

And god is not a god of the dead but of the living

And since we’ve been forgiven through Christ we’ll get risen

Without that, all men be doomed

But thank God for blessing us with the empty tomb

Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth

The way, truth, life and that thing happened to Lazarus!

[Verse 2: Q-D.O.G.]

At the graveyard, sun rays are barred

They’re burying my pops and the days are hard

But the fact that he’s going to be raised by God

Has got my soul bed rocked, I can’t be razor scarred

Now my feet, shod, with the gospel of peace I’m ready

Don’t even need a fleece for God I’m steady

Trusting what His Word say

That Christ died for sins, was buried, and rose on the 3rd day

Now let’s suppose it was hearsay, you think I would be here today

Or appear to be here to stay

Getting jeers from my peers who say

That in Christ “you’re softer than a spinach soufflé

But I know that I know that Christ is the way

And the resurrection for the life to come

The true Son who got the nod from God

When He was raised up like a gambler with a trump card

Showing His offering was pleasing

Choking death that had my spiritual breath wheezing

So now we sing o death where is your sting

I could look up in the clouds and see there is my King

And my life is now hidden in Christ

Raised up to the heavenly heights with the God of the heavenly lights

Made a Son with all heavenly rights

And through the power of the spirit fight the heavenly fight

Because the world we’re in is a sin whirlwind

Through the trespass of one we were all hurled in

But praise the Lord that gift ain’t like the trespass

And those who hear the Lords voice will be raised at the last!
