Risen – when darkness veiled the sky
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
And 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.
Risen to ransom you and me,
To bind up every broken heart, to conquer death and sin.
Risen to bring us home again.
Risen.
