Not a word was heard at the tomb that day Just shuffling soldiers' feet as they guarded the grave One day, two days, three days had passed 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 All hell seemed to whisper, just forget him, 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 despair, no more suffering Arise, arise, my love The earth trembled, and the tomb began to shake And like lightning from heaven, that old stone was rolled away And his dead men, 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 of creation had been longing to hear The sweet sound of victory, so loud and clear Arise, my love, arise, my love The grave no longer has a hold on you No more destiny, no more suffering Arise, arise Arise, my love, arise, my love See, where are your shackles? There Where is your sting? Has been defeated The grave could not hold the king Arise, my love, arise, my love The grave no longer has a hold on you No more destiny, no more suffering Arise, arise Arise Arise
