Lyrics
How can it be the One who died
Has borne our sin through sacrifice
To conquer every sting of death?
Sing, sing "Hallelujah!"
For joy awakes as dawning light
When Christ's disciples lift their eyes.
Alive He stands, their Friend and King:
Christ, Christ He is risen!
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!
Oh sing "Hallelujah!"
Join the chorus sing with the redeemed:
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!
Where doubt and darkness once had been,
They saw Him and their hearts believed;
But bless'd are those who have not seen,
Yet sing "Hallelujah!"
Once bound by fear, now bold in faith,
They preached the truth and pow'r of grace
And pouring out their lives they gained
Life, life everlasting.
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!
Oh sing "Hallelujah!"
Join the chorus sing with the redeemed:
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!
The power that raised Him from the grave
Now works in us to powerfully save
He frees our hearts to live His grace
Go tell of His goodness.
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!
Oh sing "Hallelujah!"
Join the chorus sing with the redeemed:
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!
Oh sing "Hallelujah!"
Join the chorus sing with the redeemed:
Christ is risen, He's risen indeed!
Song History & Meaning
Composer / Hymnodist: Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty, and Ed Cash
The wonder of the cross leads us straight into the joy of the empty tomb. Jesus did not just carry our sins through sacrifice; He broke the power of death once and for all so that we might walk in vibrant hope. Like the early disciples whose grief turned to gladness at the sight of their risen King, our hearts are invited to awaken to His presence today. Let your voice rise in gratitude, declaring that Christ is alive and reigning forever.
