RISEN LYRICS

I've had people ask for the lyrics. I don't usually do this, but sharing the message is my priority on this song. So here they are:

When darkness veiled the sky the day that Jesus died

In agony upon the bitter cross

They took His body down and laid it in a tomb

His friends believed that everything was lost. 

But when the third day came, the darkness turned to light

For Mary heard her name and saw the living Christ.

Risen

To set the captives free

Risen

To ransom you and me

To bind up every broken heart

To conquer death and sin.

Risen

To bring us home again.

And in that barren place the world forever changed

For hope was born when Jesus rose that day

And still His wounded hands reveal the love He has

For every fallen soul He came to save 

And He will come again, and one by one we’ll rise

To praise His holy name and see the living Christ

Risen

To set the captives free

Risen

To ransom you and me

To bind up every broken heart

To conquer death and sin.

Risen

To bring us home again.

Alleluia, He lives

Alleluia, He is

Risen

To set the captives free

Oh, He is risen

To ransom you and me

To bind up every broken heart

To conquer death and sin.

Risen

To bring us home again.
