Not a word was heard
At the tomb that day
Just the 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
"Forget Him, He's dead"
But the Father looked down
On 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 lightning from Heaven
The stone was rolled away
And as dead men
The guards stood there in fright
As the power of love
Displayed it's 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, arise!
