I don't know why I've not posted this before, because I think the words are really lovely, but I'm fairly sure I haven't, so here it is. It's a great reminder at every time of year!
"I've heard it said that angels came to roll the stone away
I've heard them say, that morning, that the earth began to shake
And that the light that filled the garden also filled an empty grave
I've heard it said, He's risen from the dead
Repeat
Alive, alive, dead but now arisen
He's alive, alive, living now in heaven
As we wait for Him to come again some day
The people say, He is alive
Come one and all to wonder at the grave they laid Him in
Come see the tomb is empty, He has triumphed over sin
The power of death has been defeated and forgiven now we sing
O hear us sing, He's risen from the dead
Alive, alive, dead but now arisen
He's alive, alive, living now in heaven
As we wait for Him to come again some day
The people say He is alive
Beaten, rejected, crucified
Scorned and afflicted
Left to die
Risen, victorious, King of life
Saviour, Redeemer, Jesus Christ
Alive, alive, dead but now arisen
He's alive, alive, living now in heaven
As we wait for Him to come again some day
The people say He is alive"
