O PRAISE THE NAME (ANÁSTASIS)

  Lyrics

Verse 1
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see his wounds, his hands, his feet
My saviour on that cursed tree

Verse 2
His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid him down in Joseph’s tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone

Chorus
O praise the name of the Lord, our God
O praise his name forevermore
For endless days we will sing your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God

Verse 3
Then on the third, at break of dawn
The Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death, where is your sting
The angels roar for Christ the King

Verse 4
He shall return in robes of white
The blazing sun shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face
