Not a word was heard at the tomb that day
Just shuffling of soldiers feet
as they guarded the grave
One day two days three days had past
Could it be that Jesus breathed His last

Could it be that His Father had forsaken him'
Turned his back on his son despising our sin.
O hell seemed to whisper just forget it He's dead
Then the Father looked down to His Son and He said

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

The earth trembled and the tomb began to shake
And like lightening from Heaven
The stone was rolled away
And like dead man the guards they all stood there in fright
As the power of love displayed its might
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

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

Arise arise arise
