But, now, He is truly risen

The tomb has long been empty for many many years
And many moments have passed since Mary, first, shed her tears
But today, we can all remember, It,  this happening once again
That Jesus Christ is risen and has freed us from our sin

But, now, He is truly risen ..He is risen up; it is true
He has stretched His arms out wide to rescue, to rescue me and you
The grips of death, once broken, can never bind again
Let's thank our Blessed Savior for freeing us from our sin...

The days before His rising and those hours before that day
Remind us of how much our sinning could darken our every way
How much our hate and fighting and our angriness galore
Could create so much suffering that our Savior meekly bore

But, now, He is truly risen ..He is risen up; it is true
He has stretched His arms out wide to rescue, to rescue me and you
The grips of death, once broken, can never bind again
Let's thank our Blessed Savior for freeing us from our sin.

We are no longer living that moment but our sins can truly hurt
And distance us from our Savior who has reminded us of our worth
If only we could truly grasp it that price that He chose to pay
We would turn from all our sinning and our foolishness displayed

But, now, He is truly risen ..He is risen up; it is true
He has stretched His arms out wide to rescue, to rescue me and you
The grips of death, once broken, can never bind again
Let's thank our Blessed Savior for freeing us from our sin.

It's so wonderful to celebrate it the Resurrection day
To visit and sing some anthems before we say our grace
But we musn't separate it from the lives we daily share
And live like Resurrection people who bring Jesus everywhere

But, now, He is truly risen ..He is risen up; it is true
He has stretched His arms out wide to rescue, to rescue me and you
The grips of death, once broken, can never bind again
Let's thank our Blessed Savior for freeing us from our sin
