Here are the lyrics:
I Will Arise
Silence fell upon the hill the day that Jesus died
He cried out it is finished and hope was crucified
The soldiers mocked and gambled for the robe that He had worn
The women wept His friends had fled, creation seemed to mourn
They took His broken body down and carried Him away
They laid Him in a borrowed tomb and then they sealed the grave
Hope it seemed was dead
Yet in their darkest hour would they remember what He said
I will arise I will arise
like the sun at dawn's first light I will arise
you can bury Me that day
seal the tomb and turn away
but the power of the grave will be denied
I will arise!
Gary is talking about how we do not know the end. Those who saw Jesus did not know what would happen to give victory. We too often think we are defeated. But we are not. We need to remember that arising also applies to us. We will arise with Jesus.
Wilkerson mentions that Satan too did not know what would happen. He thought he had won. This lyrics for this song does not include a verse that describes Satan thinking he had won. It's a wonderful verse. But I cannot find it online. Satan is a limited being just like we are. Only God can be in many places at once. Satan can only be in one place and you can bet he was observing Jesus die. He thought he had won. He thought now he would truly control the world. He was ready to dance. He invited his demons to rejoice and party. But soon there would be an earthquake and he would see Jesus alive. He would know he had lost and his efforts had only allowed a greater victory.
The lion Aslan's victory in the Lion Witch and the Wardrobe is meant to literally depict what Jesus did on the cross.
