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, despising our sin

All hell seemed to whisper "Just forget Him, He's dead"

Then the Father looked down to His Son and said

"Arise, My love, arise, My love

The grave no longer has a hold on You

No more death's sting, no more suffering

Arise, arise, My love"

The earth trembled and the tomb began to shake

And like lightening from Heaven the stone was rolled away

And as dead men the guards, they all stood there in fright

As the power of love displayed its might

Then suddenly a melody filled the air

Riding wings of wind, it was everywhere

The words all 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's sting, no more suffering

Arise, arise

Sin, where are your shackles?

Death, where is your sting?

Hell has been defeated

The grave could not hold the King

Arise, My love, arise, My love

The grave no longer has a hold on You

No more death's sting, no more suffering

Arise, arise, My love
