We watched them take you away.
We listened to a crowd curse you.
And watched as they killed you.

And we stood in front of You as you breathed your last.
The spear went into your side, and they cheered when you died. 

But death could not defeat You; sin could not shatter you.
Hate could not put you to waste; Your love could not be erased. 

Our world sat in silence and shock as You counted to three before returning. 
But like you said, You are the resurrection and the life.
Out of the darkness came the light, Christ, You came to give us new life. 
And when we thought all hope had been lost the stone was rolled away.

From dead to alive, our Savior has once again arrived.
There is magic in this mystery,
An empty tomb, visible wounds.

You rose for us, inviting us into a life of trust. 
You came to take our shame and pain, returned to reign.
Replaced our sin and stain with grace and peace
Redeemed by the redeemer You died in our place.
Your resurrection redefined love, moving us to keep our eyes above. 

And now we sing alleluia.

Christ is risen,
He is risen, indeed. 
Hope doesn’t let the story end.
Christ has risen from the dead.
Resurrected Jesus, our glory.
You forever changed our story.

With hope,
