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 belived 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

revealed 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

Risen
