Rise Again 1976

 This song is so powerful and 50 years ago when I gave my life to the Lord Jesus Christ, I heard this music which brings me to tears... Thank You Lord Jesus!!!

Go ahead, drive the nails in my hands
Laugh at me where you stand
Go ahead, and say it isn't me
The day will come, when you will see!
'Cause I'll rise again
Ain't no power on earth can tie me down
Yes, I'll rise again
Death can't keep me in the ground!
Go ahead, and mock my name
My love for you is still the same
Go ahead, and bury me
But very soon I will be free!
'Cause I'll rise again
Ain't no power on earth can tie me down
Yes, I'll rise again
Death can't keep me in the ground!
Go ahead, and say I'm dead and gone
But you will see that you were wrong
Go ahead, try to hide the Son
But all will see that I'm the One!
'Cause I'll Come again
Ain't no power on earth can keep me back
Yes, I'll come again
Come to take my people back

I am my neighbor’s Bible



I am my neighbor’s Bible;
He reads me when we meet;
Today he reads me in my home-
Tomorrow, in the street.
He may a relative or friend be;
Or slight acquaintance be;
He may not even know my name,
Yet he is reading me.

 
And pray, who is this neighbor,
Who reads me day by day,
To learn if I am living right,
And walking as I pray?
Oh, he is with me always,
To criticize or blame;
So worldly wise in his own eyes,
And “sinner” is his name.
 
Dear Christian friends and sisters,
If we could only know
How faithfully the world records
Just what we say and do;
Oh, we would write our record plain,
And come in time to see
Our worldly neighbor won to Christ
While reading you and me.
