When they took down his body
Hope had faded away
Light had shone out before their
eyes
Now he lay in a grave
Sealed with a stone
Left there alone
When they came to the graveside
Early on the third day
Wondered how they might see
inside
Found the stone rolled away
Angels appeared
'He isn't here!'
This is the start of something new
Life has come breaking through
The Son has risen, shining bright
We have seen glorious light
Christ the Lord is risen
The dawn of a new day
When the stone was rolled away
Two men walking that same day
They could not understand
But then Jesus joined on the way
Showed them all of God's plan
Hearts burned inside
He is alive!
This is the start of something new
Life has come breaking through
The Son has risen, shining bright
We have seen glorious light
Christ the Lord is risen
The dawn of a new day
When the stone was rolled away
This is the start of something new
Life has come breaking through
The Son has risen, shining bright
We have seen glorious light
Christ the Lord is risen
The dawn of a new day
When the stone was rolled away
