Verse 1 A seed falls down from the heights And is buried in the earth It silently lies in the ground Awaiting a rebirth So it is with those who die Their lips confessing Christ Because He is risen With Him they will rise Verse 2 Shall we mourn as this world mourns Or shall we rest in truth? Though outwardly we waste away Within we are renewed The weight of glory far transcends These momentary trials Because He is risen With Him we will rise We will rise Bridge Weeping may last for an evening But rejoicing comes with the dawn Verse 3 To all the wonders God will do Imagination's blind What He has made, He'll make anew In the twinkling of an eye For d**h itself will be destroyed Swallowed up by life Because He is risen With Him we will rise We will rise
