More than just a story two thousand years ago
This resurrection power stirring in my soul
And the grave is still as empty as the day my Savior rose
So don't look for the living
Among the dead
Jesus is risen
Just like He said
He lives, He lives, He lives
He lives, He lives, He lives
The One who walked on water is walking through this room
The enemy's defeated, the King is on the move
Shout it from the rooftops, this is breaking news
Don't look for the living
Among the dead
Jesus is risen, risen
Just like He said
Don't look for the living
Among the dead
Jesus is risen, risen
Just like He said
He lives, He lives, He lives
He lives, He lives, He lives
They said it was impossible but that's what Jesus did
He lives
[Spoken]
