Lyrics
Early in the morning at the break of day
Like a flash of lightning the stone rolled away
Out of the tomb walked a brand new man
He was dead and gone, now living again
Chorus:
RISEN
(I know he is alive)
Risen
(He is the author of life)
No longer in the ground
Death couldn't keep him down
He is Risen
2)
Two thousand years time marches on
The Risen Jesus is going strong
Changing hearts, changing lives
I am here to testify
He is risen
Bridge:
The women went up to the tomb
Wondering who would move the stone
Then an angel said "He is Risen"
People try and explain away
Just what happened on that day
But people gave their lives to say
He is Risen
Oooh, Oooh, Risen
Ooh, Ooh, we are forgiven
Risen, Risen, Jesus is living
Risen, Risen, Jesus is living
Risen, Risen, Jesus is living
No longer in the ground
Death couldn't keep him down
Chorus
