Vol 02 - Dead and Risen With Christ

Dead and Risen With Christ "Buried" in the grave of Jesus, I believe what God has said;

Faith, His judgment acquiescing, " Reckons" now that I am dead.

Death and Judgment are behind me, Grace and Glory are before- All the billows rolled o’er Jesus, There, exhausted all their power.

“First-fruits" of the resurrection, He is risen from the tomb;

Now I stand in new creation, Free, because beyond my doom.

Jesus died, and I died with Him, "Buried" in His grave I lie, One with Him in resurrection, "Seated" now "in Him" on high.

I await the full redemption, When the risen One shall come; And my mortal body changed Shall be " fashioned" like His own.

Precious and once bleeding Surety, Nothing would I know but Thee- Nothing would my heart desire, But, my Lord, Thy face to see.

Here I share in Thy rejection- Thy reproach and cross I love;

Here I stand in Thine acceptance In the Father’s sight above.

Grant me here to walk obedient, To Thy holy will and word;

Counting all my joy to please Thee;

Owning Thee, alone, my Lord!
