Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
For I once was lost but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
The prodigal is welcomed home
The sinner now a saint
For the God who died came back to life
And everything has changed
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
O death, where is your sting?
O fear, where is your power?
The mighty King of kings has disarmed you
Delivered and redeemed
Eternal life is ours
O, praise His name forever
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
And all throughout eternity
Our song will be the same
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
And on the day You call me in
To heaven's sweet embrace
I'll see Your scars Your open arms
The beauty of Your face
Through tears of joy
I'll lift my voice in everlasting praise
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
O death, where is your sting?
O fear, where is your power?
The mighty King of kings has disarmed you
Delivered and redeemed
Eternal life is ours
O, praise His name forever
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
And all throughout eternity
Our song will be the same
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
And all throughout eternity
Our song will be the same
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
And on the day You call me in
To heaven's sweet embrace
I'll see Your scars Your open arms
The beauty of Your face
Through tears of joy
I'll lift my voice in everlasting praise
Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave
"Christ Is Risen" by Shane & Shane is a powerful worship song that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory we have in Him. This song is filled with rich and biblical truths that remind us of the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for us and the hope we have in His resurrection.
One of the main themes of the song is the victory over sin and death that Jesus achieved through His resurrection. The lyrics proclaim, "The prodigal is welcomed home, the sinner now a saint, for the God who died came back to life, and everything has changed." This echoes the words of the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, where he triumphantly declares, "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
The song also emphasizes the grace and mercy of God. The opening line, "Amazing grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me," is a direct reference to the famous hymn "Amazing Grace" and expresses gratitude for the salvation we have in Christ. It reminds us that we were once lost and blind, but through the grace of God, we have been found and our eyes have been opened to the truth of His love.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of awe and wonder at the resurrection of Jesus. The chorus proclaims, "Hallelujah, Christ is risen from the grave," and repeats this declaration multiple times throughout the song. This echoes the joyous proclamation of the early Christians who witnessed the resurrection firsthand and spread the good news of Jesus' victory over death.
The bridge of the song focuses on the eternal impact of Christ's resurrection. It declares, "O death, where is your sting? O fear, where is your power? The mighty King of kings has disarmed you, delivered and redeemed. Eternal life is ours. O, praise His name forever." This is a powerful reminder that because of Christ's resurrection, death has lost its power over us and we have been given the gift of eternal life through Him.
"Christ Is Risen" is a song that not only celebrates the resurrection of Jesus but also calls us to respond in worship and praise. It invites us to join in the eternal song of all creation, declaring the victory of Christ and praising His name forever.
