Death could not
Hold Him in the grave
Jesus Christ is risen
And forever He will reign
So lift up your voice
To Him in praise
We’re alive by the power
Of His name
Death where is your victory
Grave where is your sting
You have been defeated
By Christ our risen King
Hallelujah
We’re alive by the power
Of His name
