Verse 1
Because You live O Christ
The garden of the world has come to flower
The darkness of the tomb
Is flooded with Your resurrection power
Chorus
The stone has rolled away
And death cannot imprison
O sing this Easter day
For Jesus Christ has risen
Has risen has risen has risen
Verse 2
Because You live O Christ
The spirit bird of hope is freed for flying
Our cages of despair
No longer keep us closed and life denying
Verse 3
Because You live O Christ
The rainbow of Your peace will span creation
The colors of Your love
Will draw all humankind to adoration
