Verse 1
Darkness on the
second day
Darkness deep inside the tomb
This is the night of sorrow
The night of death and gloom
How can love and hope and life lie buried in the grave?
O Lord don’t leave you people
O Lord please come and save
But the Lord has heard our cry
And as the light draws nigh
The promise of new life is coming true
The dawn burst forth as day
The stone is rolled away
No more night, here comes the light
Chorus
He’s risen
He’s risen
He’s risen today
The tomb is burst wide open
The stone is rolled away
He’s risen
He’s risen
He’s risen for me
I rise and stand forgiven alive eternally
I am alive
Verse 2
Darkness in this soul of mine
Darkness deep inside of me
I stand before a mirror, my sin staring back at me
Locked inside a prison tomb of guilt and misery
The stone that holds me in is weighing down on me
But the Lord has heard my cry
And as the light draws nigh
New life He sends into my aching soul
He sets my spirit free
The Lord who rose for me
New life He’s given
My sins forgiven
