Resurrection
Nicky Chiswell


Sun bleached and lifeless, bones of a nation
Down in the valley they lay
God gave them flesh, God gave them spirit
The prophet saw them that day
They arose a mighty army, those who died lived again

Resurrection, resurrection, life is given.
Grace to the death bound from our risen King.
Resurrection, resurrection, sins forgiven
Where is death’s victory, where is death’s sting?

Like a seed buried, Jesus was lifeless
Deep in the earth He lay
That Sunday morning, things changed forever
As He burst forth from the grave
He lay down His life our ransom
He who died lives again

Resurrection, resurrection, life is given.
Grace to the death bound from our risen King.
Resurrection, resurrection, sins forgiven
Where is death’s victory, where is death’s sting?

His resurrection was the beginning
Firstfruits of harvest to come
Our risen Saviour sits with our Father
Pours out His Spirit on us
We who were but lifeless bones
We who died live again

Resurrection, resurrection, life is given.
Grace to the death bound from our risen King.
Resurrection, resurrection, sins forgiven
Where is death’s victory, where is death’s sting?

Resurrection, graves will open!
Those sown in weakness shall be raised in power
Resurrection, day is coming
All eyes shall see Him and each knee shall bow
Resurrection, life is given
Grace to the death bound from our risen King
Resurrection, sins forgiven
Where is death’s victory, where is death’s sting?



'Resurrection' is one of the songs we sang at KYLC, at which the morning talks were on Ezekiel. Such a rich book centered on God's glory!! More about KYLC later, but this song was just really good. Personally, this style of music isn't one of my favourites, but the lyrics, and the strength in this song....an amazing song =) and it really speaks about the core of Christianity !!
