He is Risen

He Is Risen
Music by Deborah Ann Offenhauser
Lyrics by Barbara Whitewater
 
He is risen, he is risen,
Dear God, what does this mean?
All is well and all forgiven,
Hate and death are just a dream.
 
He is risen, he is risen,
Hope for all now rises too.
In the darkness, in the sorrow,
Light and comfort shining through.
 
What greater gift than love unending,
life unending, free to all?
What greater gift then thought uplifted;
grace to raise us, when we fall?
 
Precious Jesus, did he know,
Just how far this gift would go?
He just did as God directed
Life’s great lesson here to show.
 
He is risen, he is risen,
Every time we laugh and love,
He is risen, he is risen,
He the lamb, the light, the dove.
 
Way too meek to take the credit,
Here to give all good away,
He is risen, he is risen
Turning every night to day.
