Arise With Him Everyday

April 17, 2026 - 10:12am — ronsue
MP3 Music Playlist: 

 Christ the Lord is ris’n today;
Christians, haste your vows to pay
Offer you praises divinely sweet
At the Paschal Victim’s feet.
 For the sheep the Lamb has bled,
Sinless in the sinner’s stead;
Christ, the Lord, is ris’n on high,    
Now he lives no more to die!

REFRAIN
Let us rise with him everyday            
And follow him the truth and way
And with him we'll persevere
In our exile down here
On our way to glory in heaven with him

 I am the  way to heaven’ glory
To my Spirit listen and become holy 
Follow and in me deeply abide
In spiritual war I’m by  your side

Listen to your mother and obey
Her voice - be childlike and pray
 She will help you persevere
In your exile down here
REFRAIN

Christ, the Victim undefiled,
Man to God has reconciled;
When in strange and awful strife
Met together death and life;


Christ, who once for sinners bled,
Now the firstborn from the dead,
Throned in endless might and power,to
Lives and reigns forevermore.

REFRAIN
Hail, eternal Hope on high!
Hail, our King of Victory!
Hail, our Prince of life adored!
Help and save us, gracious Lord

Nice melody

I like the three note drop on the last sylable of the versus.  Also that refrian is very complicated and, man, you nailed it each time.  That must have been quite a bit of writing and practice.

You guitar is so nice as well and seeminly exceptionally well tuned.

I like how the word "die" is sung like a kind death is no death at all.

The next word that goes along with "die" is "him" and then "side."

He is death and it is his side peirced that shows his life giving spirit pouring death.

The it is "here" and then "him" again.  He always is with us here so that fits.

Then there is "life"


And then "more." as in evermore.


Then "him."

Then "Lord."

Then "him"

I think these are the words that are emphisized with the three note down treatment.


All of this make me think that he is still her pouring out life from his wonded side and will be forever more.  A font of living water forever.  In a way, since with Christ there is no death it is like forever dying.

Excellent song

I liked the way that not every line rhymed perfectly.
And I was comforted to be reminded that our
life here is one of exile.

Excellent song

I liked the way that not every line rhymed perfectly.
And I was comforted to be reminded that our
life here is one of exile. Also, I was reminded
or admonished to listen to my mother, which 
I must do.
