Death cannot hold
the resurrection life,
The life of God
eternal manifest;
’Tis uncreated,
indestructible,
’Tis Christ Himself,
unconqu’rable, expressed
Death cannot hold
the resurrection life,
Though all its force
against it may combine;
Death only gives
it opportunity
To show the boundless
pow’r of life divine.
Death cannot hold
the resurrection life,
The more interred,
the more it multiplies;
All kinds of suff’ring
only help it grow
And fruits of life
abundant realize.
Death cannot hold
the resurrection life,
Thru every block
and barrier it breaks;
Conqu’ring the pow’r
of darkness and of hell,
It swallows death
and victory partakes.
Death cannot hold
the resurrection life,
All of God’s fulness
it will manifest;
God’s righteousness
and holiness it yields,
His glorious image
by it is expressed.
Oh, may I know
this resurrection life,
In every kind of death
its pow’r outpoured,
In my experience
ever realize
This life is nought
but Christ my living Lord.
