From the cross to the grave
From the grave You rose
It is finished, You’re alive
From Your death You give life
From Your victory we cry
Jesus You are the only way
There is joy, joy, joy down in my heart
Joy, joy, joy down in my heart
The old has past, the new has come to us
We’re reconciled
Dance, dance, dance for Your glory
Dance, dance, dance ’cause of mercy
Shout Your praise till the break of day
From our nothingness You create
A new creation, set apart
From glory to glory, onward we go
Walking in the light of You
