V1
An icy grave – held Him three days
It hoped to have the final say
But Darkness fled at dawn’s first light
Death lost the war and life won the fight

And it’s all because He’s risen
All because He came back to life

CH
We can rise, we can rise
Above the past – above the lies
Above the guilt, above the shame
Above the sin and al the heavy chains
And it’s all because, all because, 
All because He came back to life
We can rise 

V2
That empty tomb  is full of hope
Still calling out the truth we know
God’s only Son,  triumphant King
Makes dead men live and so we believe

And it’s all because He’s risen
All because He came back to life

BR
When we take our final breath
When our eyelids close in death
It will be our time to fly
Because He’s risen we can rise

CH
