Christ is Risen

We have been singing Christ is Risen for the last couple of Sundays in church. The song is absolutely beautiful. It has been one of my favorites for a long time. Now, thanks to church, my kids love it too.

I wanted to share all the lyrics with each of you. As beautiful as the song is, the lyrics are what we should celebrate. Christ truly has risen for each of us and has trampled over death! Praise be to God!!!

Christ Is Risen by Matt Maher

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven's will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold
You downIn strength
You reignForever let
Your church proclaim
O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night
O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead
He's alive! He's alive!
