If there was no resurrection,
there would be no hope for mankind.
We would have no second chance
and no peace of mind.

The love of God is clearly seen
in the sacrifice of His Son,
who took our punishment and our sin
and offered redemption for everyone.

Had not Jesus died on the cross,
had His life not been sacrificed,
there would be no forgiveness of sin
and there would be no eternal life.

Jesus did no wrong and knew no sin.
But for love's sake He died...
so our sin debt could be paid in full.
He gave Himself to be crucified.

The good news of salvation
comes to us by the way of the cross.
God raised up Jesus from the dead
so that no man need be lost.

Oh, what love the Father has for us,
shown by the gift He freely gave.
So that we could have a second chance.
God raised Jesus from the grave.
