Not a word was heard at the tomb that day
Just shuffling of soldiers feet as they guarded the grave
One day, two days, three days had past
Could it be that Jesus breathed his last?
Could it be that his Father had forsaken him?
Turned his back on his son, dispising our sin
Oh hell seemed to whisper, "Just forget it, He's dead."
Then the Father looked down to his son and he said
Arise, My love
Arise, My love
The grave no longer has a hold on you
No more death sting
No more suffering
Arise Arise my love
The Earth trembled and the tomb began to shake, and like lightning from Heaven
The stone was rolled away
And this dead man the guards they all stood there in fright
As the power of love displayed its might
And suddenly a melody filled the air
Riding wings of wind, it was everywhere
The words of creation had been longing to hear
The sweet sound of victory, so loud and clear
Arise, my love
Arise, my love
The grave no longer has a hold on you
No more death sting no more suffering
Arise arise
Sin, where are your shackles?
Death, where is your sting?
Hell has been defeated. The grave will not hold, the king
Arise, my love
Arise, my love
Arise Arise Arise
