THERE IS A KING, A RISEN KING
Radiant, He reigns in majesty
He’s conquered death, it has no sting
And at His word we will rise and sing
Arise, we will arise and sing
Arise, we will arise and sing
Come awake, rise from the ground
Open your eyes and see what you’ve found
Come awake, oh you who sleep
Search no more, for He is all we need
Beautiful, beautiful
There is not one, there is not one, who is so beautiful
Brenton Brown, Jason Ingramme & Marty Sampson
