If Christ Is Risen, Then Hear What He Said— The Living One Has Conquered The Dead!

[Intro — Spoken, Dark and Intense] Every man must face the grave. Every soul must answer death. But what if death is not the ending? What if the Living One has spoken? Listen to the ancient question. Listen to the promise that still shakes the earth. [Verse 1] We build our towers toward the sky, We live, we struggle, then we die. Our crowns turn dust, our strength grows weak, And death reveals the truth we seek. The grave receives the rich and poor, The mighty king, the beggar at the door. But hear the words that pierce the night: A living Redeemer stands in sight! [Pre-Chorus] Who can stand when the body fails? Who brings hope beyond the veil? When every human boast is gone, Is there a Life beyond the dawn? [Chorus — Huge, Explosive Rock] I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH! Let the mountains hear the cry! I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH! Death will never have the final reply! From the darkness, from the silence, From the shadow of the grave, There is hope beyond our dying— There is power enough to save! MY REDEEMER LIVETH! Let the whole world hear His name! [Verse 2] O searching heart, don't turn away, The question still confronts us today. Who is this Jesus? Who is this King? What truth does an empty grave proclaim? Not gold or power can purchase peace, Nor human strength make death release. If Christ arose, then hear the call: The risen Lord lays claim to all! [Pre-Chorus] No earthly throne can conquer dust, No human hand can earn God's trust. Look past the veil, beyond the night— Could resurrection be the light? [Chorus — Full Band, Powerful Male Lead] I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH! Let the mountains hear the cry! I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH! Death will never have the final reply! From the darkness, from the silence, From the shadow of the grave, There is hope beyond our dying— There is power enough to save! MY REDEEMER LIVETH! Let the whole world hear His name! [Verse 3 — Urgent, Personal] I do not ask you to fear my voice, I ask you to examine the choice. Read the testimony, search the Word, Ask what the witnesses declared. If Jesus Christ is truly risen, Then death has lost its final prison. If He is Lord, then seek Him now— The deepest question stands before us: how? How can a sinner stand made new? What can wash the guilty through? The Christian answer points to the tree— To Christ who died for you and me. [Bridge — Call and Response, Building to a Roar] Who conquered death? JESUS CHRIST! Who left the tomb? JESUS CHRIST! Who is the hope when the world grows cold? THE LIVING LORD—MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD! Search the truth! SEARCH THE WORD! Hear the claim! EXAMINE THE LORD! If Christ is risen, then hear what He said— The Living One has conquered the dead! [Breakdown — Deep Male Vocal, Half-Time] The body returns to the earth. The proud are brought low. The grave keeps its silence. But Scripture declares a hope that reaches beyond the grave. Job cried out through suffering: [Spoken, With Growing Conviction] “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.” [Final Chorus — Maximum Power, Massive Choir] I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH! Let the heavens shake the ground! I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH! Let His resurrection sound! From the darkness, from the silence, Let the buried hope arise! Christ has conquered death and judgment— Lift your eyes beyond the skies! MY REDEEMER LIVETH! MY REDEEMER LIVETH! Let the whole world hear His name!
