Not a Chance

 Easter Trilogy: Resurrection Sunday

 

“But God raised Him from the dead, putting an end to the agony of death,

since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.” – Acts 2:24 (NASB)

 

Not a chance that Jesus in the grave would stay,

Not a chance – He’d promised He’d rise the third day.

Not a chance that sin could ever win,

Not a chance – let Hallelujahs begin!

Not a chance that death could hold Him in its power,

Not a chance – He resurrected at dawn’s hour.

Not a chance that men or Satan could hinder,

Not a chance – Jesus ever is over all Victor.

 

Not a chance that the Son wouldn’t rise to the throne,

Not a chance – and He brings with Him His own.

Not a chance His prophecies could ever fail,

Not a chance – God’s Word shall always prevail.

Not a chance that the King would relinquish His crown,

Not a chance – eternity shall witness His renown.

Not a chance that Alpha would not be Omega,

 Not a chance – for the I AM is Yeshua.

 

Not a chance that His feet had all steps past,

Not a chance – in Revelation they’re like fine brass.*

Not a chance His nail-pierced hands would stay still,

Not a chance – John again their tenderness would feel.

Not a chance He Who gave sight would not again see,

Not a chance – He has looked upon even me.

Not a chance the Infinite had depleted His strength,

Not a chance – His days shall be without length.  

 

Not a chance the glad One never more joy would know,

Not a chance – satisfied, His pleasure prospers and grows.

Not a chance that Jesus shall not come again,

Not a chance – in the clouds, as it was back then.

Not a chance that I’ll never see His face,

Not a chance – He prayed we’d be with Him to gaze.**

Not a chance that His praises shall ever cease,

Not a chance – the redeemed bless their Prince of Peace!
