He Lived, He Died, He Rose Again

Intro

Oh—oh, oh—oh, Alleluia (hallelujah)

La-la-la, la-la, oh—yeah

Verse

Born under starlight, manger low and warm

A mother's lullaby, a quiet, trembling dawn

He walked with sandals worn, hands that mended bone

Taught the lost to stand, called the weary home

He touched the leper's skin, he opened fishermen's eyes

He fed the hungry crowd with loaves beneath the sky

He spoke of coming reign, of mercy like a flame

He lived what he promised, he lived to bear our name

Pre-chorus

Carried every sorrow, took the world upon his frame (upon his frame)

Walked the road to Golgotha, and whispered, "It is finished," like a flame

Chorus

He lived, He died, He rose again — Alleluia, Alleluia (hallelujah)

He lived, He died, He rose again — Hallelujah, sing it now (oh)

He lived, He died, He rose again — Alleluia, Alleluia (amen)

He lives, He reigns, forevermore — He rose, He rose, He rose again

Verse

They drove the nails, they cast the lots, a sky turned darker still

A crown of thorns, a borrowed tomb, the world stood very still

They lined the stones and sealed the door, they counted him as done

But dawn broke gold and trembling, and morning met the Son

An angel rolled the heavy stone; the grave could not contain

The promise written in his scars, the rising like a train

From silence came a trumpet-sound, from sorrow came a song

Death could not keep the promise — the stone was moved along

Pre-chorus

Women came with trembling hands, the linen folded neat (folded neat)

An angel smiled and called his name — the victory was complete

Chorus

He lived, He died, He rose again — Alleluia, Alleluia (hallelujah)

He lived, He died, He rose again — Hallelujah, sing it now (oh)

He lived, He died, He rose again — Alleluia, Alleluia (amen)

He lives, He reigns, forevermore — He rose, He rose, He rose again

Bridge

Now every worn-out sorrow finds its morning in his hands (in his hands)

Chains that held my trembling heart are broken like the sand (like the sand)

I lift my voice with countless saints who keep the story true

My past is drowned in ocean-deep, my future made anew

Oh—oh, oh—oh, Alleluia (hallelujah), oh—yeah

Chorus

He lived, He died, He rose again — Alleluia, Alleluia (hallelujah)

He lived, He died, He rose again — Hallelujah, sing it now (oh)

He lived, He died, He rose again — Alleluia, Alleluia (amen)

He lives, He reigns, forevermore — He rose, He rose, He rose again

He lived, He died, He rose again — Alleluia, Alleluia (hallelujah)

Outro

Amen, amen, amen (hallelujah)

La-la-la, la-la, Alleluia — He rose, He rose, He rose again
