Long the darkness of the skies
stretched their lonely shadow.
Long the night of shame and lies.
Long the ache and sorrow.
Soft a voice that speaks that name,
heart now beating faster—
there! He stands, just as His claim,
Lord, Rabboni, Master!
–
CHORUS
See He stands: the Christ who once was slain!
Lord of life now lives our Lord again.
See Him rise resplendent from the grave
Look, believe, He comes for us again.
–
Endless hours on the road,
travel of the weary.
Dying embers once had glowed
now gone gray and wary.
Hear, a man who speaks the word!
All the prophets promised
stands fulfilled in Christ the Lord;
Christ, our flame of glory!
–
Emptiness like some great hole
deep inside that mourning.
Crashing waves upon his soul
drifting at its mooring.
Sin reflected in the gleam
of the mirrored image—
broken now as shines a beam
Christ!—across the water!
–
Grouped around, in joyful grief
faithful to Him gather
Hearts emboldened with belief,
bound by faith together.
As He blesses, see Him rise
God and Man to heaven
soon returning on the skies
Christ! Our Savior given!
–
CHORUS
See He stands: the Christ who once was slain!
Lord of life now lives our Lord again.
See Him rise resplendent from the grave
Look, believe, He comes for us again.
