Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones once wrote this profound instruction to the Christian:

"The main art in the matter of spiritual living is to know how to handle yourself. You have to take yourself in hand, you have to address yourself, preach to yourself, question yourself… And then you must go on to remind yourself of God, Who God is, and what God is and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do."

One of the most critical things to “talk to ourselves” about is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It impacts everything. To the degree that we dwell and meditate and internalise the resurrection, to that degree will we be able to live a joyful, peaceful, and hopeful life.

This is a song that is intended to help us do that. It is a reminder to our souls to remember once more the truth of the resurrection and how it impacts our full lives. “Come behold the empty grave” for there you can be reminded that the boast of death is silent, that tears will turn to glory soon, and that our lives belong to heaven.
