Risen (When darkness veiled the sky)

When darkness veiled the sky the day that Jesus died

In agony up on the bitter cross,

They took His body down And laid it in a tomb.

His friends believed that everything was lost.

But when the third day came the darkness turned to light.

For Mary heard her name and saw the living Christ.


Risen to set the captives free.

Risen to ransom you and me.

To bind up every broken heart,

To conquer death and sin.

Risen to bring us home again.


And in that barren place, the world forever changed

For hope was born when Jesus rose that day.

And still His wounded hands reveal the love He has

For every fallen soul He came to save.

And He will come again and one by one we'll rise

To praise His holy name and see the living Christ


Risen to set the captives free.

Risen to ransom you and me,

To bind up every broken heart, 

to conquer death and sin.

Risen to bring us home again.


Alleluia, He lives!

Alleluia, He is


Risen to set the captives free.

Risen to ransom you and me,

To bind up every broken heart,

 to conquer death and sin.

Risen to bring us home again.

Risen.
