He has risen,
He has risen,
He has risen,
Jesus is alive.
When the life flowed from His body,
Seemed like Jesus’ mission failed.
But His sacrifice accomplished,
Victory over sin and hell.
In the grave God did not leave Him,
For His body to decay;
Raised to life, the great awakening,
Satan’s power He overcame.
If there were no resurrection,
We ourselves could not be raised;
But the Son of God is living,
So our hope is not in vain.
When the Lord rides out of heaven,
Mighty angels at His side,
They will sound the final trumpet,
From the grave we shall arise.
He has given life immortal,
We shall see Him face to face;
Through eternity we’ll praise Him,
Christ, the Champion of our faith.
