Lyrics:
VERSE 1
A seed falls down from the heights
And is buried in the earth
It silently lies in the ground
Awaiting a rebirth
So it is with those who die
Their lips confessing Christ
Because He is risen
With Him they will rise
VERSE 2
Shall we mourn as this world mourns
Or shall we rest in truth?
Though outwardly we waste away
Within we are renewed
The weight of glory far transcends
These momentary trials
Because He is risen
With Him we will rise
We will rise
BRIDGE
Weeping may last for an evening
But rejoicing comes with the dawn
VERSE 3
To all the wonders God will do
Imagination’s blind
What He has made He’ll make anew
In the twinkling of an eye
For death itself will be destroyed
Swallowed up by life
Because He is risen
With Him we will rise
We will rise
