Song Compilation And Words of Encouragement
Pr Wally Starchenko
The ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ by Anthony Berger
at the Sydney Opera House when the Gaither’s Played
When the King of England George II first heard this played,
he stood recognizing that there was only one King of Kings and Lord of Lords and
it wasn’t him. It has been a tradition ever since that everyone stands recognizing
the King of Kings and Lord of Hosts as the King did.
‘Arise My Love’
This was a song that had left a lasting impression on Phil,
especially during the Easter season.
Not a word was heard at the tomb that day
Just shuffling of soldiers’ feet as they guarded the grave
One day, two days, three days had passed
Could it be that Jesus breathed His last
Could it be that His Father had forsaken Him
Turned His back on His Son, despising our sin
All Hell seemed to whisper, “Just forget it, He’s dead”
Then the Father looked down to His Son and said.
Arise, My Love
Arise, My Love
The grave no longer has a hold on You
No more death’s sting
No more suffering
Arise, arise, My Love.
The earth trembled, and the tomb began to shake
And like lightning from Heaven, the stone was rolled away
And as dead men, the guards, they all stood there in fright
As the power of love displayed its might
Then suddenly a melody filled the air
Riding wings of wind, it was everywhere
The words all creation had been longing to hear
The sweet sound of victory, so loud and clear.
Sin, where are your shackles
Death, where is your sting
Hell has been defeated
The grave could not hold the King.
