Lyrics - Christ the Lord is Risen Today
TEXT: Charles Wesley | MUSIC: Lyra Davidica
[Verse 1]
Christ the Lord is ris’n today. Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say: Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high. Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply: Alleluia!
[Verse 2]
Lives again our glorious King. Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Dying once, He all doth save. Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
[Verse 3]
Love’s redeeming work is done. Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won. Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise. Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise. Alleluia!
[Verse 4]
Soar we now where Christ has led. Alleluia!
Foll’wing our exalted Head. Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise. Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia!

[Verse 1]
One day when heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as can be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men―my example is He
[Refrain]
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming―O glorious day
[Verse 2]
One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on the tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins―my Redeemer is He
[Refrain]
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming―O glorious day
[Verse 3]
One day they left Him alone in the garden
One day He rested, from suffering free
Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil
Hope of the hopeless―my Savior is He
[Refrain]
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming―O glorious day
[Verse 4]
One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose―over death He had conquered
Now is ascended, my Lord evermore
[Refrain]
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming―O glorious day
[Verse 5]
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing
Glorious Savior―this Jesus is mine
[Refrain]
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming―O glorious day

[Verse 1]
God sent His Son they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove
my Savior lives
[Chorus]
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
just because He lives
[Verse 2]
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
because He lives
[Chorus]
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
just because He lives
[Verse 3]
And then one day I'll cross the river
I'll fight life's final war with pain
And then, as death gives way to vict’ry
I'll see the lights of glory and
I'll know He reigns
[Chorus]
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
just because He lives
Self-Reflection & Discussion
What is your life’s purpose? Does the way you are living today reflect that purpose, and does it bring you joy, satisfaction, and excitement?
Identify things that are keeping you from running the race of life with purpose: things you do out of necessity but do not bring you joy, and things you do out of obligation that make you feel empty and unsatisfied.
What are the things you can start doing so that your actions reflect your purpose as a follower of Jesus—the purpose to proclaim that our Savior is alive and to glorify Him by living out His Word?
