Couplet 1

Not a word was heard
At the tomb that day
Just shuffling soldiers' feet
As they guarded the grave
One day two days
Three days had past
Could it be that Jesus
Breathed His last

Couplet 2

Could it be that His Father
Had forsaken Him
Turned His back on His son
Despising our sin
All hell seemed to whisper
Just forget Him He's dead
Then the Father looked down
To His Son and He said

Refrain 1

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

Couplet 3

The Earth trembled
And the tomb began to shake
And like lightning from Heaven
That old stone was rolled away
And as dead man the guards
They all stood there in fright
As the power of love
Displayed its might

Couplet 4

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

Refrain 1

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

Pont

Sin where are your shackles
Death where is your sting
Hell has been defeated
The grave could not hold the King

Refrain 1

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
