Matt Maher | Mia Fieldes

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

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

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

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
Singing: 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!

TAKE THAT SATAN!!!! I want to be more like MY FATHER! JESUS CHRIST!

It will forever amuse me that people who don't believe in God and call his words lies and all, come here just to troll. But it's alright, it'll end up working against you, in a way, because the words of the Father will make their way into your unbelieving hearts. ^_^

Thank u Jesus for delivering me from demonic oppression and from death. I won't forget what you've done!

@phantom1539 I read " The Case for Christ". Nothing convincing in there. The resurrection,like the whole salvation story has no logic, makes no sense( Even scripture agrees ) What was the purpose of the resurrection ? How many people resurrected on that first Easter ?

[phantom1539]

@ndzoko You're right, for the most part. The Holy Spirit should convict us of whether Jesus rose from the dead, but there are plenty of solid ways of debating the topic as well. I highly recommend books like "The Resurrection of the Son of God" by N.T. Wright, or "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel, a former atheist. There is plenty of hope that Jesus is Lord, rose from the dead, and loves you enough to let you do the same.

*Grave, sorry

I get chills whenever they sing "Come awake, come awake, come and rise up from the dead". LOVE IT!!!!!

we sing this song at church. It has become one of my favorites. I love the scriptures in the background as opposed to just the lyrics.

[ndzoko]

@phantom1539 Resurrection is fantasy, as long as no evidence is provided.

[hilgathor2]

@ndzoko one

It's Biblical, period, but I like how this song is very consistent with Eastern Orthodox teaching and liturgy. With all the emphasis on resurrection, becoming "one with" Christ, and "trampling over death by death."
