239. Christ Rose Up from the Dead

Refrain:
Christ rose, Christ rose, Christ rose up from the dead,
Christ rose, Christ rose, Christ rose from the dead,
Christ rose, Christ rose, Christ rose up from the dead,
and God's grace will bear my spirit home.

1 They crucified my Savior upon a common cross,
they crucified my Savior upon a common cross,
They crucified my Savior upon a common cross,
and God's grace will bear my spirit home.

2 And Joseph begged his body, and laid it in the tomb,
and Joseph begged his body, and laid it in the tomb
And Joseph begged his body, and laid it in the tomb
and God's grace will bear my spirit home. [Refrain]

3 An angel came from heaven and rolled away the stone,
an angel came from heaven and rolled away the stone,
An angel came from heaven and rolled away the stone,
and God's grace will bear my spirit home. [Refrain]

4 Oh, Mary, she came running and found an empty tomb,
oh, Mary, she came running and found an empty tomb,
Oh, Mary, she came running and found an empty tomb,
and God's grace will bear my spirit home. [Refrain]
