Verse 1

On the cross when Jesus died
Though our sins were gone
If the Son of God was dead
How could we go on

Verse 2

His friends took His body down
Laid it in a tomb
As they wept they did not know
They would see Him soon

Pre-Chorus 1

The tomb was dark
The tomb was cold
And then a light of burning gold

Chorus

Jesus rose again
He came back from the dead
Jesus rose again
He defeated death
I can live for evermore
Jesus rose again for me

Verse 3

Jesus' friends were locked away
They were full of fear
Their fear turned to joy again
When Jesus appeared

Verse 4

Jesus said if we believe
Though we cannot see
He would give a blessing of
Eternal life to live

Pre-Chorus 2

Our hearts were dark
Our hearts were cold
And then a light of burning gold
