"Did Jesus Really Live Again?" (p. 64).

Verse 1+2:
Verse one asks a question, answers it, and tells what Jesus did.
Ask the children to listen and raise one finger when they hear the question, two fingers when they hear the answer, and three fingers when they hear what Jesus did.

Sing the first verse of the song for the children.

What is the question? What is the answer?

Sing that much together.

Show GAK 233 (Mary and the Resurrected Lord). Say, "The song tells us three things Jesus did when the third day came.
As I sing, count them on your fingers as you hear them." (1—"wakened," 2—"left the tomb," 3—"called Mary's name.")
Review the three things, and sing and count together.

Use the same technique for verse two.

Verse 3:
The third verse tells how the people knew it was Jesus.

Sing the first half, and ask how the people recognized Him.
Sing that much together.
Now the song asks a question and gives a wonderful promise.
Have the children listen for the question, hold up one finger when they hear it, and fold their arms when they hear the promise.
Sing the rest of the verse for them; then sing it together. Testify of the Resurrection
