5 sample-ef There it is Winston Churchill said, The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end there it is! Through the ages there have been people who have made it their life s mission to disprove the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The more they try and convince us that it never happened, the more we believe that it did. Why is that? The words to the hymn He Lives provide the perfect answer: I serve a risen Savior, He s in the world today I know that He is living, whatever men may say I see His hand of mercy, I feel His loving care And just the time I need Him, He s always there! He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today He walks with me and talks with me Along life s narrow way He lives! He lives! Salvation to impart You ask me how I know He lives. He lives! Within my heart The proof is in our hearts. And there it is.
