Glory to you, O Christ:
by your death you have destroyed death
and by your resurrection you have brought life and immortality to light
Jesus appears to the Five Hundred
The ones who all saw the Risen Lord at once
1 Corinthians 15:6 says, "After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died".
Five hundred more received the sight
Of Christ, the Risen Lord of light.
The one who taught and healed and blessed
When in their pain they ‘came distressed.
They’d travelled far, they’d heard his claim
Saw miracles they couldn’t explain.
Heard Kingdom come, saw bread of heav’n
Life eternal, sins forgiven
And so these followers of the way
Have witnessed to this new life day
And in the presence of the king
Their Hallelujahs gladly sing.
