Friend, I was raised up by God, to walk with Him upon earth’s sod,

He raised me up from the dust, when He breathed life into all of us.

But, because of man’s sinful fall, I did not walk with The Lord at all,

I simply went about my sinful way, living only for myself day to day.



Although I did not walk with Him, He came to save me from my sin,

While upon that cross at Calvary, where Christ died for you and me.

That sin that lead my heart astray, had taken me down a darker way,

But it was God’s love, not His wrath, that lead me to a brighter path.



I simply lived a life of emptiness, as I lived in my own righteousness,

A life far removed from God above, and void of His Grace and Love.

And it took me to an empty plight, all shaded by the darkened night,

But He put me on a path that’s right, one filled with my Savior’s Light.



God then raised me up to New Life, one that is found in Jesus Christ,

The Lord, who had truly died for me, has now given me Life Eternally.

Christ who raised me from the dust, is the One in whom I put my trust,

And through the power of New Birth, will soon raise me from the earth.



I shall be raised by Christ my Lord, to then live with God forevermore,

Until then, God fills these earthly days, with His Power and His Praise,

To lead others on earth to new life, through the Power of Jesus Christ,

And when together we are raised, in Glory God will be forever praised.
