Death cannot hold the resurrection life

RZ's Daily Spark of Life:

Death cannot hold the resurrection life, the more interred, the more it multiplies!


1 Death cannot hold the resurrection life,
  The life of God eternal manifest;
  ’Tis uncreated, indestructible,
  ’Tis Christ Himself, unconqu’rable, expressed

2 Death cannot hold the resurrection life,
  Though all its force against it may combine;
  Death only gives it opportunity
  To show the boundless pow’r of life divine.

3 Death cannot hold the resurrection life,
  The more interred, the more it multiplies;
  All kinds of suff’ring only help it grow
  And fruits of life abundant realize.

4 Death cannot hold the resurrection life,
  Thru every block and barrier it breaks;
  Conqu’ring the pow’r of darkness and of hell,
  It swallows death and victory partakes.

5 Death cannot hold the resurrection life,
  All of God’s fulness it will manifest;
  God’s righteousness and holiness it yields,
  His glorious image by it is expressed.

6 Oh, may I know this resurrection life,
  In every kind of death its pow’r outpoured,
  In my experience ever realize
  This life is nought but Christ my living Lord.
