Lyrics to Christ Is Risen by Phil Wickham
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
For I once was lost but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
The prodigal is welcomed home
The sinner now a saint
For the God who died came back to life
And everything is changed
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
Oh death, where is Your sting?
Oh fear, where is Your power?
For the mighty King of kings has disarmed you
Delivered and redeemed
Eternal life resounds
Oh praise His name forever
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
And all throughout eternity
Our song will be the same
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
And on the day You call me in
To Heaven’s sweet embrace
I’ll see Your scars, Your open arms
And the beauty of Your face
Through tears of joy, I’ll lift my voice
In everlasting praise
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
Oh death, where is Your sting?
Oh fear, where is Your power?
For the mighty King of kings has disarmed you
Delivered and redeemed
Eternal life resounds
Oh praise His name forever
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
And all throughout eternity
Our song will be the same
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
Jesus is alive, ooh
And all throughout eternity
Our song will be the same
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
And on the day You call me in
To Heaven’s sweet embrace
I’ll see Your scars, Your open arms
And the beauty of Your face
Through tears of joy, I’ll lift my voice
In everlasting praise
Hallelujah
Christ is risen from the grave
