He is Risen, He is Risen
He is Risen, He is Risen, Risen from the dead
The sadness it has gone, new hope has come instead
Death, it has passed, it couldn’t hold Him down
He is alive in Heaven wearing now the Victor’s crown.
From the sadness on the hill when all it seamed was lost
When on the Cross He hung, He paid the highest cost.
He gave His life that day, Oh the agony He bore
The nails made their holes into the flesh they tore.
But then He cried out loud, “It is finished” was His cry
All evil was defeated, Christ had the last reply
The veil it now is torn and we can enter in.
Right into Heaven’s glory free from all our sin.
He is Risen, He is Risen, Risen from the dead
Bring us the Victory, new life we have instead.
The Spirit has arrived to fill us with His Glory
To fill us with His Presence, we have a great new story
