Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
For God so loved the world, He gave His Son
To bear the weight of sin, He bled for us
From Heaven's highest place, He took a fall
And there was just one life, laid down for all
Death, where is your sting?
Grave, where is your victory?
He's alive, He's alive
He is risen!
Behold the vacant tomb that held our Lord
That grave became the stage for Heaven's glory
And behold the Risen King in open skies
He is the Resurrection, He is the life
Death, where is your sting?
Grave, where is your victory?
He's alive, He's alive
He is risen!
No weapon formed against us will prosper
The gates of hell won't stand
Your Church will rise from glory to glory
In the name of Jesus
No weapon formed against us will prosper
The gates of hell won't stand
And Your Church will rise from glory to glory
In the name of Jesus
Death, where is your sting?
Grave, where is your victory?
He's alive, He's alive
He is risen!
Death, where is your sting?
Grave, where is your victory?
He's alive, He's alive
He is risen!
