Jesus Arose Then (song)

This song kinda came about in the heat of the moment- I had heard this song on the radio and really liked it and wanted to a parody song with it. And yes, it’s an Asia song and it’s set near Asia- in the Middle East- about 2000 years ago or so. It’s recounting the events of that first Easter from the point of view of John the apostle. At first things seemed so crazy when Jesus died and was buried- but it’s okay because on that third day, Jesus arose then! :-) And because He lives, we can live too.


Jesus Arose Then
(parody of “Heat of the Moment” by Asia; copyright by Nathan Ludwick 12/12/2013)
(John 3:16-17, Romans 10:9, Acts 16:31, Acts 1:8, Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20-21 [particularly John 20:29-31], 1 Corinthians 6:14)

I never felt so weak and bad- confused
It’s like Christ said when we left (the) Upper Room
(On) Account of Him, we all would fall away
‘Cause God would strike shepherd; sheep run away
Do you remember when Pharisees asked?
The sign they’ll get is Jonah’s circumstance
Spent 3 days underwater in fish’s tum
So Jesus’ 3 days under- Here comes the sun (and Son!)

 
(Chorus 1) We didn’t believe at that moment
Stubbornly wouldn’t trust Him
But Pete, me and the women saw He’s alive!

And now we find ourselves the empty tomb
The devil’s hot spot holds no claim on You
You just fulfilled 15 in Genesis 3
He struck Your heel; You crushed the serpent’s head

And it was Pete and me running,
Beat him that morning-
Yet Pete went in before me-
(it’s) just cloths inside

24 Luke- saw God; thought You were a ghost
Shows hands and side, eats fish- it’s Christ; You rose!
Then ascending You called us to compel
The Great Commission- we must go and tell

 (Chorus 2) If you believe Christ’s atonement
Invite Him into your heart then
You’ll be saved that moment- give Him your life!

Well, we believed when we were shown Him
20:29 John says
He blessed the ones who
Trust without sight!

Believe on The Lord then-
(He) redeems everyone then
Redeems every moment
(‘Cause) Jesus arose then- we will soon join Him ……………………………………………………………………………………..
