The dawn is now breaking
A new day has begun
The grave could not hold him
Jesus Christ, God’s Only Son

With death no more the conqueror
Jesus arose up from the grave
His promise he did keep
The Stone Was Rolled Away
And an empty tomb was there



Mary’s heart was now broken
And has her tears flowed freely
Her heart in great despair
When she could not find her Jesus there

An angel nearby the tomb
Told Mary not to fear
That Christ Jesus had arisen
And to dry her tears



Then Jesus spoke her name
Her heart was over joyed
To see the risen Christ,
In splendor and in Glory

Jesus said to Mary
Go now Mary and spread the Word
What I’ve said to them is true
Where I go, you cannot go
But I will come again
Of this you can be sure



A Savior, Christ the Lord has risen
He was crucified, dead and buried
And lives again today
Hallelujah, He Arose!
What a grand and glorious day
Happy Easter
A New Life For You can begin today
