On the festival of Easter, people praise Lord Jesus Christ for all the
sacrifices that he had done for humanity. Jesus Christ resurrected three days
after undergoing the agonizing crucifixion, to symbolize the victory of goodness
over the evil. Christians dedicate the day to the devotion of the Almighty. For
the purpose, they sing songs, chant hymns and prayers. The song 'He Lives on
High' by Baylus B. McKinney offers paeans to Jesus Christ. The song depicts that
Christ is the savior of humankind and he shows us the path towards redemption
from our sins. Here are the lyrics of the Easter song 'He Lives on High'.
He Lives on High
by Baylus B. McKinney
Christ the Savior came from Heaven's glory,
To redeem the lost from sin and shame;
On His brow he wore the thorn-crown glory,
And upon Calvary He took my blame.
Refrain:
He lives on high, He lives on high,
Triumphant over sin and all its stain;
He lives on high, He lives on high,
Some day He's coming again.
He arose from death and all its sorrow,
To dwell in that land of joy and love;
He is coming back some glad tomorrow,
And He'll take all His children home above.
Weary soul, to Jesus come confessing,
Redemption from sin He offers thee;
Look to Jesus and receive a blessing,
There is life, there is joy and victory!
