UP FROM THE GRAVE
Lyrics
Verse 1:
There’s no story we’d rather be telling
But that God came Himself for His own
He declared “It is finished!” on Calvary
Bore the wrath we deserved all alone
There’s no story so timely and lasting
But that Christ condescended to save
The will of the Father accomplished
Our path to redemption He paved
Prechorus:
Buried, dead within the rock
In the calm before the wake
His heel has crushed the serpent’s head
His victory was gained
Chorus:
When he rose up from the grave
Defeating Satan, sin, and death as our forever “Amen”
Now we rise just the same
Our redemption is claimed, and the song of every saint
Is that He rose up from the grave
Verse 2:
There’s no story compared to the gospel
There’s no truth that we should hold so dear
As Christ glorified by redeeming
The distant and drawing us near
Hallelujah the grave is now empty
The stone rolled away from the tomb
We were beggars and thieves, now we’re pardoned
We’ve been ransomed from sorrow and doom
Prechorus:
Buried, dead within the rock
In the calm before the wake
His heel has crushed the serpent’s head
His victory was gained
Chorus:
When he rose up from the grave
Defeating Satan, sin, and death as our forever “Amen”
Now we rise just the same
Our redemption is claimed, and the song of every saint
Is that He rose up from the grave
Verse 3:
So rejoice in this story so timeless
In the hope that is found in His word
For the grace of His glory now drives us
The most glorious truth ever heard
