When Christ arose, He turned the tide
of human history
By dealing out a crushing blow
to His arch-enemy.
Before His risen glory,
fiendish foes flee in dismay,
Forever thrown into a state
of helpless disarray.
Praise the One who lives;
Praise the One who lives again;
Praise the One who lives again
for seizing victory!

When Christ arose, He offered
living hope to Adam's race
By swallowing the sting of death
and standing in our place.
Refusing to allow His
Holy One to see decay,
Our God will make His own complete
on Resurrection Day.
Praise the One who lives;
Praise the One who lives again;
Praise the One who lives again
to cancel our disgrace!

When Christ arose, He pried apart
the iron grip of sin
And gave us strength to walk anew
beneath His righteous reign.
The silent, empty tomb proclaims
these words for all to hear,
""Your sinful self is crucified
by resurrection pow'r!""
Praise the One who lives;
Praise the One who lives again;
Praise the One who lives again
for breaking ev'ry chain!

When Christ arose, He earned the righ
of universal praise.
The high acclaim of His great name
will ring through endless days.
Alone He walked the path of death;
alone the Lamb was slain.
Together ev'ry tongue will sing
the honor of His name
Praise the One who lives;
Praise the One who lives again;
Praise the One who lives again
whose glory owns our gaze!
