Earth-quake

LORD, You still the storm and stay the tide
cause the moon and sun to hide
Ride the wind and break the earth,
say when we die and who gives birth.

Time for you is but a grain of sand
eternity is held within your hand.
You shook the earth to move that stone
and kept an empire from breaking bone
when on the cross was love impaled
and evil forces tried but failed
to thwart Thy Word and enterprise
and He who said “I will Arise.”

As it dawned and darkness fled,
Jesus arose just as He said.
The earth? It trembled.  Heaven? Shook
The angels stopped and turned to look;
and then bowed down to worship Him,
The Holy One who knew no sin.
Then they rolled the stone away
to show the tomb on Easter Day.
The bands of death and sin were broken.
Quiet world! For God has spoken.
Come and worship before Christ bow.
Remove all doubt, believe Him now. 

Come and worship before Christ bow.
Remove all doubt, believe Him now.
