Forever

The moon and stars they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Saviour of the world has fallen
His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon Him

One final breath He gave
As heaven looked away
The Son of God was laid in darkness
A battle in the grave
The war on death was waged
The power of hell forever broken

The ground began to shake
The stone was rolled away
His perfect love would not be overcome
Now death where is your sting?
Our resurrected King
Has rendered you defeated

[chorus]
Forever He is glorified
Forever He is lifted high
Forever He is risen
He is alive; He is alive

The above lyrics written by Michael Edwin Johnson.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.”  John 3:16 KJV.

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation (satisfying of wrath) for our sins.” 1 John 4:9,10 KJV.
