For three long days
Jesus lay lifeless
In a cold dark grave
A foggy gloom
Filled the room
That held Him captive in a tomb
Until His Father cried,
“Arise! Arise! Arise!”
In a Jerusalem graveyard hope waited in the dark
When Heaven’s breath conquered death
For every heart that’s battered and scarred Hope waited in the dark
Wthout a word
God shook the earth
The stone rolled away
Breaking since curse
Death had to go
Jesus arose
Paving the way
So we could know
He is walking by our side
Alive! Alive! Alive!
When storm clouds arise
And take us by surprise
Hope never dies
