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.

This song ‘Risen’ and music like this adds light and truth to this crazy world. Thank you for writing and sharing this, and also your other music. We need it! I’m also an artist, member of the church, singer/songwriter, and just wanted to connect with you! Love what you do!
Thank you so much for this song! My grandchildren sang it for our in-home sacrament meeting last Sunday and it was so beautiful.. I just cried. Such true lyrics! Your music is wonderful!!
Thank you for sharing your gift with the world Shawna. This song touches my heart. Thank you. Jesus Lives! May you always be blessed with His abundance of goodness.
Thanks for sharing this lyrics Shawna especially at this crucial time of self isolation and stay-at-home period. It really helped us much to do the singing with the minus one music via zoom to our Christian’s community. The best Good Friday and Easter home celebration. God bless you.
I love this song so much I’m 17 and I would love for the YW and YM in ward to sing this in sacrament meeting
