Enjoy playing Ascension Adventure!
Jesus rose up to the skies,
Before them stood the angels wise,
He’ll come back again one day,
This is what they heard Him say.
Until then, His power we’ll receive,
The Holy Spirit we’ll believe,
Tell the world of all His grace,
In every time and every place.
Verse 1:
Listen up y’all, I got a story to tell
From the book of Acts, in the Bible it dwells
The first chapter, one through eleven
Tells of Jesus’ ascension to Heaven
Verse 2:
After rising from the dead, he spent some time
With his disciples, he shared some wine
He spoke of God’s kingdom, and what’s to come
Then he was lifted up, straight to the sun
Chorus:
He ascended to heaven, to be with his Father
But he left us with power, to spread his love farther
From Jerusalem to the ends of the earth
We’ll carry his message, for all it’s worth
Verse 3:
The disciples looked up, and saw him go
Two angels appeared, to let them know
He’ll come back, just like he did leave
So don’t worry, don’t be deceived
Verse 4:
Then they returned to the upper room
To wait for the Holy Spirit, to be their groom
And it came, like a rushing wind
And they spoke in other tongues, a new language begin
Chorus:
He ascended to heaven, to be with his Father
But he left us with power, to spread his love farther
From Jerusalem to the ends of the earth
We’ll carry his message, for all it’s worth
Verse 5:
So let’s go out, and tell the world
About Jesus’ love, that’s unfurled
Let’s share his message, with everyone we meet
And let them know, that Jesus can defeat
Chorus:
He ascended to heaven, to be with his Father
But he left us with power, to spread his love farther
From Jerusalem to the ends of the earth
We’ll carry his message, for all it’s worth
Outro:
Acts chapter one, it’s just the beginning
Of a story that’s still being written
Let’s keep the faith, and hold on tight
Until the day, Jesus comes back in sight.
