Arise My Love
Sin, where are your shackles
Death, where is your sting
Hell has been defeated
The grave could not hold the King
Today is all about hope.
This life is nothing but a fleeting moment.
The future is bright.
Live with love.
Live with expectancy.
Live with hope.
Arise My Love
Newsong
Not a word was heard at the tomb that day
Just shuffling of 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 it, He's dead"
Then the Father looked down to His Son and said
Arise, My Love
Arise, My Love
The grave no longer has a hold on You
No more death's sting
No more suffering
Arise, arise, My Love
The earth trembled, and the tomb began to shake
And like lightning from Heaven, the stone was rolled away
And as 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 all 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 death's sting
No more suffering
Arise, arise
Sin, where are your shackles
Death, where is your sting
Hell 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 death's sting
No more suffering
Arise, arise, arise
