The wait, the vigil, the darkness
is almost over, the veil is almost lifted
the dawn is coming, the resurrection is near
Jesus is rising from the dead, in the ancient story
he is risen, now, still, in heaven above
We are his and he is ours, our brother risen
on the throne with the father above
soon to return to judge
our risen savior
the stone is rolled away
He lives!
