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
has 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 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
rolled away
And as dead men
the guards 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 My Love

Sin, where are your shackles
Death, where is your sting

Hell has been defeated
The grave could not hold the King.
