There is a resurrection

If there is no resurrection

God would be God of the dead;

Christ Himself would not be living

N’er have been raised from the dead.

But there is a resurrection

Which is the vitality

Both the life pulse and the life-line

Within God’s economy.

If there is no resurrection

Christ a Savior dead would be

Not the One Who lives forever

Who can save most utterly.

If there is no resurrection

Christ a Savior dead would be

Not the One Who lives forever

Who can save most utterly.

If there is no resurrection

Life imparting would be stayed.

And so would regeneration

With renewing pass away.

If there is no resurrection

Then whatever would there be?

There would be no transformation

Nor to Christ conformity.

If there is no resurrection

Where the members of the Christ?

There to Him would be no Body

Which His fullness is in life.

If there is no resurrection

Then the church would n’er have been

Which is both to Christ His dear bride

And to God the one new man.

If there is no resurrection

Then would God’s economy

With the voiding of His purpose

In collapse fall totally.
