Very early Sunday morning Before the dawn’s light appeared (Jesus is risen declaring Victory no more defeat)2 Refrain: Resurrection is my song Resurrection gave me life (Resurrection made me strong Jesus my Lord is alive)2 His majesty defeated death He rolled the big stone away (And from the mouth of the tomb appeared His beautiful and splendid light)2 The first of those who have fallen asleep And the Giver of life has risen victoriously
O mighty One who conquered the tomb and death When You rose. When You rose You crushed the serpent and apprehended the enemies And triumphed.

(Arise, destroy the Devil bringing his state to nothing Arise, declare and say to the dead I forgave you this sin)2 Arise and strengthen the shepherds’ faith And bring back the lost sheep Then our mouths are filled with joy And our tongues with rejoicing For our Lord Jesus Christ Is risen from the dead He abolished death by His might And made life shine upon us He is the one who has descended
Refrain: (Ekhristos Anesti Alithos Anesti Christ is risen Truly He is risen)2 He carried our sorrows Forgave us our sins Healed us by His stripes And grant us eternal peace He struck the sting of death When He rose victoriously And illuminated the way And banished darkness If your crucifixion Ended the story of Your love I wouldn’t be alive now Shouting: Christ is risen How should I stay Grief-stricken at Gologotha
