O Praise the Name (Anástasis)
January 24, 2021
Verse 1:
I cast my mind to Calvary, where Jesus bled and died for me
I see His wounds His hands His feet, my Savior 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
