- Very early Sunday morning,
Before the dawn's light appears,
Jesus is risen declaring, Victory no more defeat.

Refrain:
Resurrection is my song, Resurrection gave me life,
Resurrection made me strong, Jesus my Lord is alive

- Jesus is risen in glory,
Heaven and earth sang and praised,
And the angels told the story, He is risen as He said.

- Mary Magdalene was looking,
In the garden for her Lord,
While Jesus was telling, Her to go and spread the word.

- All the disciples were praying,
They were really in great fear,
When Mary came to them saying, He is risen He is not here.

- While they were in the room,
Jesus Christ Himself appeared,
My peace I gave to you, And my peace with you I leave.

- But Thomas did not believe,
What the disciples have seen,
So Jesus again appeared, Showed him the place of the spear.

- Tell the Marys no more mourning,
Among the dead do not seek,
For Jesus our Lord is living, Giving power to the weak.

- Jesus my victorious Lord,
Conquered the powers of hades,
And the thorn of death He broke, My salvation He declared.

- The heavenly hosts were singing,
Welcoming our glorious Lord,
And the joy is overwhelming, He opened the doors of hope.

- Alleluia Alleluia,
Risen is the Lord of peace,
Alleluia Alleluia, Truly He is risen indeed.
