April 11 Worship Song Lyrics

Updated: Apr 9, 2021

Christ Is Risen He Is Risen Indeed



Verse 1

How can it be the One who died

Has borne our sin through sacrifice

To conquer every sting of death

Sing sing hallelujah



Verse 2

For joy awakes as dawning light

When Christ's disciples lift their eyes

Alive He stands their Friend and King

Christ Christ He is risen



Chorus

Christ is risen He is risen indeed

Oh sing hallelujah

Join the chorus sing with the redeemed

Christ is risen He is risen indeed (He is risen)



Verse 3

Where doubt and darkness once had been

They saw Him and their hearts believed

But blessed are those who have not seen

Yet sing hallelujah



Verse 4

Once bound by fear now bold in faith

They preached the truth and power of grace

And pouring out their lives they gained

Life life everlasting



Verse 5

The power that raised Him from the grave

Now works in us to powerfully save

He frees our hearts to live His grace

Go tell of His goodness



Ending

He's alive He's alive

Heaven's gates are opened wide

He's alive He's alive

Now in heaven glorified

Christ Arose (Low in the Grave he Lay)


1 Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior,

waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!


Refrain:

Up from the grave he arose,

with a mighty triumph o'er his foes;

he arose a victor from the dark domain,

and he lives forever, with his saints to reign.

He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!


2 Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior;

vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord! [Refrain]


3 Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior;

he tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord! [Refrain]

1. Jesus! What a friend for sinners!

Jesus! Lover of my soul;

Friends may fail me, foes assail me,

He, my Savior, makes me whole.

Let me hide myself in Him.

Tempted, tried, and sometimes failing,

He, my strength, my victory wins.

More than all in Him I find.

He hath granted me forgiveness,

I am His, and He is mine.
