Rise, Rise Up – v2 chalice


Easter people, rise, rise, for the coming of the light, rejoice;
Christians rise, from your slumber, the flames alive,
Rise up, from your knees, from your pews, shout!
our Savior lives, He has conquered death
the Messiah, the chosen one
rising from the grave
the empty tomb
the fabric
on the dust
He has Risen!
Christ has risen!
He is risen indeed!
So must we, knowing
more of the story, the truths
than those first disciples did, we
know of the Emmaus Road, Pentecost,
the fire of the Spirit within us, burning, alive,
the saints and martyrs, the faithful through time
the ages after that fateful, that joyous morning, when
the tomb was empty, and our Savior rose from the dead
