“Two Versions” by Cool Hand Luke.

Lyrics:
We fell asleep, honestly
We didn’t see a thing
When we awoke no one spoke
We hoped it was a dream
No one really thought that they would come
To take Him away

When I think of that empty tomb
I know that I’m to blame
There must have been several men
To roll the stone away
All the guard throughout the yard
Will swear by what I say

When I think of that empty tomb
It fills me with shame
Ohh, ohh

Honestly, I saw everything
They told me what to say
But for me, it wasn’t the money
I was just so afraid
They could take my job away
I have bills to pay
Pay, pay

When I first saw the glow of sun
The ground began to shake
The ground began to shake

I saw a light grow in the sky
It grew in its descent
It grew in its descent

A mighty man adorned in light
He rolled the stone away
He rolled the stone away

The dead man rose
The dead man walked
I thought it was the end
I thought it was the end
We became dead men
Me and all my men
We were like dead men

Was this really the Son of God
The Son of God, risen from the dead?

“I Remember” by Cool Hand Luke.

Lyrics:
I remember once in Judah before You were born
Elizabeth called me “Mother of the Lord”
John jumped in her womb and by the Spirit knew who You were
Now Your people who walked with You forgot Your word

But I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
In You

I remember in the temple after You were born
Bearing pigeons and presenting You to the Lord
Seeing Simeon hold You in his arms with tears in his eyes
I remember every word that he prophesied

I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
In You
In You

[4x]
A sword will pierce your soul

I still believe
I still believe
I still believe
In You

Jesus didn’t stay dead.

Yes, Jesus physically died, contrary to any silly theories & cults that claim otherwise. But He didn’t stay dead, otherwise He’d be just another good teacher who was killed ’cause some were jealous of Him, a victim, a martyr. He’s God Incarnate, He was resurrected, risen, is alive!

Psalm 16:10
“For you will not leave my soul in Hell; neither will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.”

John 20:9
“For as yet they knew not the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.”

Acts 2:31
“He seeing this beforehand spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that His soul was not left in Hell, neither His flesh did see corruption.”

Acts 13:35
“Because he said also in another psalm, You will not allow your Holy One to see corruption.”

1 Corinthians 15:4
“And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:”

“On Mine arm shall they trust.”
Isaiah 51:5

In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on his God alone. When his vessel is on its beam-ends, and no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God and God alone! There is no getting at our God sometimes because of the multitude of our friends; but when a man is so poor, so friendless, so helpless that he has nowhere else to turn, he flies into his Father’s arms, and is blessedly clasped therein! When he is burdened with troubles so pressing and so peculiar, that he cannot tell them to any but his God, he may be thankful for them; for he will learn more of his Lord then than at any other time. Oh, tempest-tossed believer, it is a happy trouble that drives thee to thy Father! Now that thou hast only thy God to trust to, see that thou puttest thy full confidence in him. Dishonour not thy Lord and Master by unworthy doubts and fears; but be strong in faith, giving glory to God. Show the world that thy God is worth ten thousand worlds to thee. Show rich men how rich thou art in thy poverty when the Lord God is thy helper. Show the strong man how strong thou art in thy weakness when underneath thee are the everlasting arms. Now is the time for feats of faith and valiant exploits. Be strong and very courageous, and the Lord thy God shall certainly, as surely as he built the heavens and the earth, glorify himself in thy weakness, and magnify his might in the midst of thy distress. The grandeur of the arch of heaven would be spoiled if the sky were supported by a single visible column, and your faith would lose its glory if it rested on anything discernible by the carnal eye. May the Holy Spirit give you to rest in Jesus this closing day of the month.”
