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 all 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
