My Jesus Rose

Written and Arranged by David Potts

2025

One of my more recent tunes. A song about the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus and how that work on the Cross is our only hope to be free and secure eternal life. Enjoy!

Lyrics

My Jesus rose from the dead
Oh how they mocked Him and crowned His head
With their thorns meant for me
I was blind but now I see

He’s the only One that can set me free
Free from the mess I made of me
When He hung upon that cross
Yes He hung upon a cross

The cross was heavy so I ran away
But the shepherd came for my soul that day
My sin was big but I was small
As He carried my cross I heard His call

Chorus

He didn’t just hang on a cross that day
He had to carry it a long long way
Up the hill with a bloody back
He carried my sin and He did not look back

Chorus

Yes He hung upon a cross
