Hey all...check out my blog at www.artfororphansbyellianna.blogspot.com and see my new notecards!!!

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

Oh death, where is your sting
Oh hell, where is your victory
Oh church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night
Sing it, oh death, where is your sting
Oh hell, where is your victory
Oh church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, He’s alive, He’s alive

Words & Music : Matt Maher, Mia Fields
