The song celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and his victory over sin and death. It calls on the church to awaken from sin and rise with Christ through faith. Christ's death on the cross and resurrection have defeated all earthly and spiritual powers that try to oppose God. The song repeats the refrain "Christ is risen from the dead" as a proclamation of Easter joy and faith in Christ's victory.

3. Christ is Risen Written by Matt Maher

4. Let no one caught in sin remain Inside the lie of inward shame We fix our eyes upon the cross And run to Him who showed great love And bled for us Freely You've bled for us

5. Christ is risen from the dead Trampling over death by death Come awake, come awake Come and rise up from the grave Christ is risen from the dead We are one with Him again Come awake, come awake Come and rise up from the grave

6. Beneath the weight of all our sin You bowed to none but Heaven's will No scheme of Hell, no scoffer's crown No burden great can hold You down In strength You reign Forever let Your church proclaim

7. Christ is risen from the dead Trampling over death by death Come awake, come awake Come and rise up from the grave Christ is risen from the dead We are one with Him again Come awake, come awake Come and rise up from the grave

8. O death, where is your sting? O hell, where is your victory? O church, come stand in the light The glory of God has defeated the night – sing it

9. O death, where is your sting? O hell, where is your victory? O church, come stand in the light Our God is not dead, He’s Alive HE’S ALIVE!

10. Christ is risen from the dead Trampling over death by death Come awake, come awake Come and rise up from the grave Christ is risen from the dead We are one with Him again Come awake, come awake Come and rise up from the grave

11. Christ is risen from the dead Trampling over death by death Come awake, come awake Come and rise up from the grave Christ is risen from the dead We are one with Him again Come awake, come awake Come and rise up from the grave

37. We believe in the church -- acting as an instrument of God in this present moment. We believe that whoever believes in Him will never die, but have everlasting life.
