More Than a Story
He’s more than a story.
He is risen and is Our Savior
The sinner can be forgiven
The transgressor can be transformed
The corrupt can be cleansed
He’s more than a story
He is alive and He is the author of new life
The cheating politician can be born again
The adulterous call girl can find salvation
The moral failure can have a second and a third and a fourth chance
He’s more than a story
He has left the tomb and is the reconciler of all men
The white supremacist bows to the supremacy of Christ
The black panther falls to the lion of Judah
The anti-semite is a child of Abraham
The racist is a lover of all men.
The slave trader has become the slavery reformer singing amazing grace
Archie Bunker has become William Wilburforce crying against the injustices of bigotry
He is more than a story
He is here and He is the great deliverer
He delivers the addicts from their self medicating and gives them peace
He delivers the hedonists from their self indulgences and gives them joy
He delivers the depressed from their self-loathing and gives them hope
He is more than a story
He has won and we share in His spoils
We are no longer overcome but overcomers
We are no longer victims but victors
We are no longer bond but we are free
He is more than story
He has beaten death and the grave forevermore
He has changed our temporal goodbyes to eternal hellos
We are not afraid – Because for me to live is Christ to die is gain
Death where is thy victory, O grave where is thy sting
Made like Him, like Him we rise, ours the cross the grave the skies, alleluia
He is more than a story
He is exalted and been given a name that is above every name
Those who are satan possessed He indwells
Those who are satan oppressed He empowers
Those who are satan obsessed He enlightens saying “Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world”
He’s more than story
He is our living hope and our daily helper
The ugly sinner is a lovely saint
The spiritually defeated is more than a conqueror
The lost and undone has been found by God’s Son
Yes, He is more than a story
He has prevailed and owns the world
We look not to the united nations but the Healer of all nations
We believe not on earthy judges but in Heavens Just One
We trust not in human leaders but in the King of kings and Lord of lords
We listen not for election results but bend our ears for that final trumpet when riding on a white horse He will return in all his glory to repay every evil, right every wrong, reward every deed and reign forever
He is more than a story
He is risen and He is the central figure of history. He calls each of us follow Him.
He is risen and He is the central figure of my life
He’s everything to me and since I met Him things have never been the same
