THE FIGHT

For Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed , therefore let us keep the Festivals 1 Corinthians 5:8

O grave where is you victory, O death where is you sting?

THE FIGHT

You Were The Reason Why

 

Rolling up His sleeves

You know those are fighting terms

He had taken all He would

Once and for all the lesson would be learned

 

I turned away when He made a fist

I just couldn’t bear to look

His arm stretched out I saw

It was the nails that He took

Jesus on the Cross

What kind of Warrior was He

I thought He would do it right

Fisticuffs you know

Isn’t that how real men fight

 

His arm lay bare to show

That He had made His plan

Coming as my Redeemer

Fully God and fully man

 

Oh the fight was won I’d say

The day He laid down His life

Have you stopped and considered

It was Jesus who paid the price

 

But wait there’s more I must tell

About a borrowed tomb

The devil believed he had won

Shocked the people felt doom and gloom

 

But oh the fight had just begun

Because early on Sunday morn

Jesus Rose Up out of that grave

Into the gift of God’s Salvation we have torn

 

The gift God delivered on Christmas

Well it is opened at the Cross

Because Jesus showed that ol devil

Proving to him Exactly Who is BOSS

 

That fight I couldn’t bear to watch

It was bloody and oh so brutal

He was fighting for you and me

Jesus won it all, the whole kit and caboodle

 

I just thought you’d like to know

The fight has already been won

When A Real Man laid bare His Arm

Salvation came by way of crucifixion of His Son

 

The Cross The nails the mocking

The abject posture of quitting

Well it was all part of Gods perfect plan

Into His tapestry He was knitting

 

His perfect plan stitch by stitch

Designed and perfectly orchestrated

Woven Into the pages Of Christianity

God’s Man won! Now God’s people are liberated

 

He fought and secured at Calvary

His Resurrection Victory has no end

Because as long as you have breath

He’ll fight for you and defend

 

Call on His Name while He May be found

Do not let another day slip by

Because that fight that Jesus won

You, yes you were the reason why
