<\/a>Sometimes when we hear such news, it is difficult for us to contain our joy. I know for me, that after hearing good news, as I thought of the news, a smile would break and sometimes I\u2019d almost be giddy with excitement. Maybe you\u2019ve experienced such joy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t even imagine what it must have been like for those who heard the good news from Jerusalem when Jesus rose from the dead. There were plenty of emotions in those moments, but eventually, these hearers must have broken out in jubilation. Their Friend, Teacher, Leader, Messiah had returned to life and His victory was theirs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The good news for you and me is that His victory is ours as well. So today, let\u2019s celebrate! There is \u201cGood News from Jerusalem\u201d and it is for each one of us. Here are the lyrics to this song and there\u2019s a link after for you to listen to this uplifting piece.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cGood News from Jerusalem\u201d[i]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jesus was a man who was not like any other <\/p>\n They led Him before the courts and the house of Pilate <\/p>\n Jesus died on a lonely hill they called Mount Calvary <\/p>\n Good news from Jerusalem <\/p>\n Two thousand years have passed since He ascended <\/p>\n Good news from Jerusalem Good news. Good news. He\u2019s alive.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nHe preached about judgement and a kingdom soon to come
\nOh the people had never heard words like these
\nHe stirred up the scribes and the Pharisees
\nso they began to plot against God’s one and only son<\/p>\n
\nIn a trial they mocked and condemned this righteous man
\nPilate listened to the crowd and he knew they lied
\nbut when he heard the people cry “Crucify”
\nHe tried but he couldn’t was the blood from his guilty hands<\/p>\n
\nThey laid Him in a tomb and a stone sealed Him inside
\nbut three days later when the women came
\nshocked and excited when they reached His grave
\nthey ran back to town and everybody heard them cry<\/p>\n
\nThe cross on the hill where the debt was paid
\nAn empty tomb where His body laid
\nA small upper room where they saw He was glorified
\nGood news from Jerusalem
\nHe’s alive. He’s alive. He’s alive
\nGood news from Jerusalem
\nHe’s alive. He’s alive. He’s alive<\/p>\n
\nOh wars rage on in a world so lost in sin
\nTroubles and trials on every hand
\nPeace is coming to the promised land
\nWhen the King comes back we’ll shout it\u00a0again and again<\/p>\n
\nA sign in the sky every eye can see
\nA crown that will last for eternity
\nA throne for a King who had long been prophesied
\nGood news from Jerusalem
\nHe’s alive. He’s alive. He’s alive<\/p>\n
