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.

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.
