Jesus Christ is Risen

Verse 1:
Jesus Christ is risen!
He's no longer dead.
Now is the third day,
and just like He said:

Chorus:
He arose with power over the grave!
He arose with power mighty to save!
He goes on before us.
We follow joyous
We now have hope to live again.

Verse 2:
If Christ had not risen,
What a lot of men,
Hopeless and forgotten,
They would have been.

Verse 3:
If Christ has not risen,
Then faith is worthlessness.
We remain in sin
And life is emptiness.

Verse 4:
Jesus Christ is risen!
He's risen from the dead!
He is the first fruits,
Our exalted Head.

Verse 5:
Christ now lives in Glory,
For He now lives again.
He offers us redemption
And a home in Heaven with Him.
