We Know That Christ Is Raised
1. We know that Christ is raised and dies no more.
Embraced by death He broke its fearful hold;
And our despair He turned to blazing joy.
Alleluia!
2. We share by water in His saving death.
Reborn we share with Him an Easter life
As living members of a living Christ.
Alleluia!
3. The Father's splendor clothes the Son with life.
The Spirit's power shakes the church of God.
Baptized we live with God the Three in One.
Alleluia!
4. A new creation comes to life and grows
As Christ's new body takes on flesh and blood.
The universe, restored and whole, will sing:
Alleluia! Amen.
