Risin' up that's what He said
It's my time let's commence this
In 3 days I will be back from the dead
There's a plan to fulfill in the line
So many times He talked in the past
About His pa**ion and His glory
Just like the grain used for weed has to die
It must die so the wheat can arise
He said
I have to die first to fulfull all the signs
Risin' up through the power of my Father
At last when the hour has come you'll know I was right
And I warned you before this day I'd
Have to die first
Facing d**h in Gethsemane
Sweatin' blood feelin' lonely
He prayed to God, "You can take this from me
If you will", but He still had to die
He said
I have to die first in this terrible fight
Risin' up through the power of my father
And the last lonely hours I've been prayin' tonight
And I want you to know this day I'd
Have to die first
Risin' up hate-filled mob
Took our Lord up to Calvary
Read His sentence and was nailed to the cross
But the man that they k**ed is alive
He said
I have to die first it's a strange way to fight
Risin' up through the power of my father
And the last I will risin' put the devil to flight
And I warned you before this day I'd
Have to die first
But I have to die first (x 6)
