Yo, let me drop some truth, a story from the past, Twelve men walked with Jesus, their lives forever cast. From Galilee to Judea, they followed where He trod, Witnessed miracles unfold, the living Son of God. They ate with Him, they laughed with Him, they heard His every word, A message of salvation, a truth that must be heard. They saw Him heal the sick, the blind receive their sight, Transforming lives with love, and banishing the night. But darkness fell upon them, a cross upon a hill, They watched their Messiah die, their very hearts stood still. Their hope was buried with Him, in a tomb of cold despair, But little did they know, a miracle beyond compare. Three days later, the earth shook, the stone was rolled away, Jesus Christ arose in power, conquering death that day. The apostles saw Him risen, their doubts began to fade, A testimony born in fire, a truth that can't be swayed. We have seen, we have heard, The risen Christ, the Living Word. Through trials faced, our faith restored, Jesus Christ, our Lord! Thomas, the doubter, needed proof to see the light, He wouldn't believe the story, until he saw the sight. Jesus came to him gently, "Touch my hands," He said, "Believe in what you see, and cast aside your dread." Thomas felt the scars, the wounds that proved it's true, The risen Lord before him, a vision fresh and new. He cried, "My Lord, my God!" his faith restored anew, A testament to grace, for me and also you. These men, once filled with fear, now bold and full of fire, They spread the gospel message, with unwavering desire. They faced persecution, imprisonment, and pain, But never denied the truth, for Christ they'd live again. They knew the cost of following, the price they had to pay, But chose to spread the word, no matter what they say. For they had seen the risen Lord, and felt His saving grace, A love that knows no bounds, embracing every race. We have seen, we have heard, The risen Christ, the Living Word. Through trials faced, our faith restored, Jesus Christ, our Lord! So why would they all suffer, why would they all die, For a lie, a fabrication, a story in the sky They had nothing to gain, no earthly reward to seek, But only endless torment, for the truth they dared to speak. They were stoned, they were crucified, they were beaten and abused, But never once recanted, never once refused. To testify to Jesus, the Savior of mankind, A love that knows no limits, a peace they left behind. So listen to their story, consider what they saw, The evidence is clear, defying every flaw. They gave their lives for Jesus, a sacrifice so grand, A testament to faith, throughout every land. Believe in their testimony, embrace the risen Lord, Open up your heart to Him, and trust in His word. For in the name of Jesus, salvation can be found, A love that conquers death, forever unbound. We have seen, we have heard, The risen Christ, the Living Word. Through trials faced, our faith restored, Jesus Christ, our Lord!
