Lyrics
Jesus died as a man on a cross, He was buried in a rich man's grave
He suffered and died for us, so we all could be saved
Early Sunday morning, the stone it was rolled away
The earth shook all around, they could hear the angel say:
He is alive just as He said
Out of the tomb risen from the dead
He is alive to show you the way
That takes you home to Him
Now Jesus sits at the right hand of God to ever intercede for us
He is faithful and just to forgive, His blood covers all our sins
Now Jesus sent us His Holy Spirit, so we would never be alone
He speaks just what the Father wants and this is what He says:
He is alive just as He said
Out of the tomb risen from the dead
He is alive to show you the way
That takes you home to Him
Wonderful the Prince of Peace who died so we'd be saved
Glorious and great is He who rose out of the grave
