The Risen Lord

V1
Of His own choice became man, gave cause to rejoice
By taking on the grave,
For us His life He gave,
To heal us and to save
He suffered great, His Passion broke the iron gate
Set Adam and Eve free
Conquering mightily
Rising in glory  

Chorus
Give thanks to the risen Lord
Gave you life and He gave you more
The whole earth sings Him praise
Hallelujah to His name
Over death He has victory
Jesus healed our humanity
Like incense our prayers rise
Broken hearts You'll not despise
Our Living God

V2
He hears your cry, when you're wounded and you're wondering why
Every day the same
There is power in His name
Yes He loves you without blame
For us He died, and gave up His spirit and cried
For it is finished now
Death now come to take your bow
Dead is your destructive vow

Bridge
In the middle of the night, He arose with brilliant light
Dueling Death with His great might, lifting captives out in flight
In two the veil was torn, Death has died with its scorn
O Death you have no sting!  Life's eternal bells now ring!
On us is God's own seal, Christ' love for us is real
He came to show us then, and He's coming back again!
