[Intro] [Soft synth pad, steady heartbeat pulse, ambient wash] [Verse 1] [Solo Lead Vocal] [Dry Vocal Mix] [Sung hip-hop, conversational, low register] Been walkin' in the dark a long time Lookin' for a light I couldn't find Every place I thought I'd find Him in Every one of 'em came up empty [Pre-Chorus] [Building] [Double Tracked Vocal] Till a mornin' broke the dark wide open Heard a voice — heard a voice that said — [Chorus] [Double Tracked Vocal] [Monotone hook, minimalist] He's not here He's not here He's not here — He's risen He's walkin' out ahead He's not here He's not here He's not here — He's risen And the mornin' is the proof [Verse 2] [Solo Lead Vocal] [Sung hip-hop, conversational] Three women walkin' at the break of day Spices in their hands and the stone rolled away Angel in the garden where they laid Him low Said, "Why you lookin' for the livin' here among the dead?" [Pre-Chorus] [Building] [Double Tracked Vocal] Same mornin' broke the dark wide open Same voice sayin' what He said — [Chorus] [Double Tracked Vocal] [Monotone hook] He's not here He's not here He's not here — He's risen He's walkin' out ahead He's not here He's not here He's not here — He's risen And the mornin' is the proof [Bridge] [Octave Harmonies] [Full Harmony Stack] [Swelling pad, organ warmth, no choir] I can't prove Him with the things I say Only with the way I walk through my day Feed somebody hungry, love somebody hard Let the mornin' catch me doin' what He did He rose — so I rise He rose — so I rise [Final Chorus] [Wide Vocal Stereo Image] [Octave Harmonies] [Doubled drums, Hammond swell] He's not here He's not here He's not here — He's risen He's walkin' out ahead He's not here He's not here He's not here — He's risen And the mornin' is the proof [Outro] [Ambient pad, heartbeat fade] He's not here He's not here He's in the dawn
