When the Father looked down on His people
And He heard of their prayers to be led
They had wanted a powerful fighter
But He sent the Messiah instead
And this baby had come with a mission
To challenge the Holy men's law
When this child had grown into manhood
They had never seen like it before
So they heard all the wonderful teachings
And they saw all the miracles made
But it meant they would have to be diff'rent
And the leaders were really afraid
So in order to save their traditions
They killed off the Father's own Son
And they thought that the story was over
But really it had just begun
And His followers mourned their dead leader
They were desolate, empty and dazed
But when the vision appeared before them
They knew the Lord Jesus was raised
And He promised to be with them always
When the Spirit was sent from above
They were filled with a glorious power
God was sending His heavenly love

Now today God is sending His Spirit
And it's simple enough to receive
You just ask Him for total forgiveness
With the statement that says "I believe"
He will come and be with you forever
Through happy and sad times as well
And so now you can make the decision
To choose between heaven or hell
It's the power that comes from the Father
It's the blessing that comes through the Son
It's the joy that is bubbling inside you
It's that knowing that He is the one
As you eagerly look to the future
Your path has already been paved
For you now have that Holy assurance
With the certainty that you've been saved
