[Verse 1]
It was a long dark night in Jerusalem.
You could almost hear the sound of evil laughter in the air.
The Prince of Darkness boasted of his trophy in the grave.
And the power that it took put him there.
But the Sunday sun came up showing Jesus was gone.
There could be no doubt from the moment on.

[Chorus]
Lord of life, He's alive.
Triumphant and alive again.
Proving death is not the end.

Lord of life, He's alive.
He fought the fight and won the war.
The grave has no hold anymore.
Of those belonging to the Lord, of life.

[Verse 2]
And the angel move the stone so that all could see.
The tomb was nothing more than just a temporarily place.
And Mary looked inside.
As she turned to go away.
She met her risen savior face to face.

He was back just as he said.
And she fell at His feet in worship and in awe.
For she knew that He was indeed.

[repeat chorus]

[Bridge]
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
The tomb is empty.
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Come and see. (Come and see)
We will shout through eternity.

[final chorus]
Lord of life, He's alive.
Triumphant and alive again.
Proving death is not thee end.

Lord of life, He's alive.
He fought the fight and won the war.
The grave has no hold anymore.
Of those belonging to the Lord.
Of life.
