Christ is Alive

Verse 1:
Christ is alive! Let Christians sing,
His cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
His love in death shall never die.

Verse 2:
Christ is alive! No longer bound
To distant years in Palestine,
He comes to claim the here and now
And conquer every place and time.

Verse 3:
In every insult, rift, and war
Where colour, scorn or wealth divid,
He suffers still yet, loves the more,
And lives, though ever crucified.

Verse 4:
Christ is alive! Ascended Lord
He rules the world His Father made,
Till, in the end, His love adored
Shall be to all on earth displayed.
