He Is Not Here

Grace has brought us here
because nothing comes by chance
Believers, friends, companions come
to sing, to laugh to dance
He no longer wears
The shroud of death
Or the cloak of chains
In which he once dressed
The heart which failed
Beats in His chest
He is not here
He is not here
He is not here
He is risen
He no longer lifts
His thorn-crowned head
Towards an empty sky
With forsaken dread
Now that it's finished
And the angel said
He is not here
He is not here
He is not here
He is risen
Alleluia
Alleluia...
He no longer bleeds
Or cries out in vain
He's no longer broken
Or bears the shame
Come to the tomb
Rejoice! Proclaim!
He is not here
He is not here
He is not here
He has risen
He is not here
He is not here
He is not here
He is risen
He's risen
He's risen
