The House of the Rising Son

There is a house in heaven’s light,
They call the Rising Son,
It’s the place of grace, the Father’s house,
Where victory’s been won.

My mother taught me Scripture,
She prayed upon her knees,
My Father is the Living God,
Who rules eternity.

The only thing a sinner needs
Is mercy through the Lamb,
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is resting in “I AM.”

Oh children, hear the Gospel,
Don’t do what I have done,
Don’t waste your life in sin and shame,
Come to the Rising Son.

I’ve got one foot in the graveyard,
The other on the cross,
But Christ has borne the ball and chain,
And counted none as loss.

There is a house in heaven’s light,
They call the Rising Son,
He rose from death on the third day—
Dear God, He is the One.
