FEAST OF WEEKS/FIRST FRUITS – The First to Rise by Bro H

Verse 1 Before the field was full of promise Before the grain was in our hands A single stalk was lifted upward As a sign we’d understand Not the end, but just the beginning Not the sum, but proof of more If the first was truly taken Then the harvest would be sure Pre-Chorus We don’t claim what’s still unfolding We don’t rush what He designed If He’s faithful in the first step He’ll be faithful down the line Chorus He was the first to rise The first accepted in the light Lifted on the appointed morning Death undone, the grave denied If the first was raised in glory Then the rest will surely come We live between the promise given And the harvest yet begun Verse 2 They came running from the garden At the breaking of the day Stone was rolled, the tomb was empty Nothing left for death to say Not a shadow, not a vision Not a story told too late He was standing in the daylight With the mark of heaven’s weight Chorus He was the first to rise The first accepted in the light Lifted on the appointed morning Death undone, the grave denied If the first was raised in glory Then the rest will surely come We live between the promise given And the harvest yet begun Verse 3 They asked, “What shall we do now?” When the truth had cut them through He said, “Turn and walk it forward Let new life make something new” Not just saved from what was behind us But called into what lies ahead Living as the first of many In the footsteps of the dead who live We won’t stand still in empty fields We won’t pretend the work is done We’ve seen the first break through the soil Now we walk toward the sun Not by fear and not by striving But by faith that holds its ground What was raised will raise a people When the final call goes out Final Chorus (Lift, not shout) He was the first to rise The first accepted in the light Lifted on the appointed morning Death undone, the grave denied We are living as firstfruits Of a harvest yet to come Holding fast to what was started Till the work is fully done Outro The first was raised So we rise and walk it through The pattern is set, we know the way We trust in You
