For all the earth had trembled
The sun had hid its face and
All the men that walked with Him
Had turned and run away
They crucified the Saviour
And laid Him in a tomb
The life that once brought love and hope
Slipped away that afternoon
Satan gleamed with pleasure
That day at Calvary
For he thought he had won
A mighty victory
And like him all the demons
Of hell began to cheer
O but little did know
That their end was growing near!
' Cause early Sunday morning
Just like Jesus said
He broke the curse of sin and death
And He rose up from the dead
Now we have a new beginning
And a kingdom that has no ending
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Jesus is alive!
Death has lost its victory
And the grave has been denied
Jesus lives forever
He's alive! He's alive!
He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and last is He
The curse of sin is broken
And we have perfect liberty
The Lamb of God is risen
He's alive! He's alive!
He's the author and finisher of our faith
The stone they threw away
Is the cornerstone today
Death has no more victory
And the grave has no more sting
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Wonderful counselor
A mighty God is He
The Everlasting Father
He's precious Prince of Peace
He the Words that lives forever
He's alive! He's alive!
