My Lord, He died for a Kingdom,

To redeem the hearts of men.

Now My people, don’t you weep

He has risen from His sleep.

He lives again, Alleluia!

Chorus:

Sing alleluia, the Lord is risen,

He is risen indeed, Alleluia!

My Lord came forth like the morning,

With the splendour of the sun.

Came triumphant from the womb,

From the darkness of the tomb,

The victory won, Alleluia!

3.      

My Lord united our mountains

With the everlasting hills.

Now the seasons and the sea

Sing His song of victory,

Rocks and rills, Alleluia!

That had waited late and long.

Now we all with one accord,

Live and love the Risen Lord,

This is our song, Alleluia.

All that I am, all that I have,

Lay them down before You O Lord.

Everything I’ve been thru’,

Use it for Your glory.

Lifting my praise to You,

As a pleasing sacrifice,

Things in the past, things yet unseen,

Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true.

All of my hopes, all of my plans,

My heart and my hands are lifted to You.

And what do we have, that is not already Yours.

All we possess are these lives we’re living,

And that’s what we give to You, Lord.

God sent His Son, they called him Jesus.

He came to love, heal and forgive.

He lived and died to pay my pardon.

An empty grace is there to prove my Saviour lives.

Chorus:

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow;

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

Because I know, He holds the future,

And life is worth the living,

Just because He lives.

And then one day, I’ll cross that river.

I’ll fight life’s final war with pain.

And then as death gives way to victory,

I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He reigns.
