Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

See the tomb where he laid

See the stone rolled away

He is risen, he is risen

He?s alive


See his hands, see his feet

Touch his scars and believe

He is risen, he is risen

He?s alive


Chorus:

He lives

All honor and power

Are His

All glory forever

Amen

Jesus lives


Verse 


Hear the shackles breaking free

Hear the song of the redeemed

He is moving, he is moving

He?s alive


Take this freedom, take his love

Can you feel it rising up

He is here, he is here

He?s alive


Bridge


You took all our shame

Left it in the grave

we?re forgiven, we?re forgiven

The work forever done, only by the blood

It is finished, it is finished
