Do you believe

Than what we see?
Does the world need more hope beyond the grave
Can we depend on
A god to lead our way
To say

Chorus
If jesus (if jesus) had not risen (jesus)
There'd be no need (there'd be no need)
To keep on livin' (keep on livin')
'cause the future ('cause the future)
Of this world (the future of this world)
Would be so cold
So dark and cold (so dark and cold)
If jesus (jesus) had not risen (jesus)
There'd be no love
No reason to forgive (no reason forgive)
But thank god
Our hope in him
Does not depend on "if"

Should the parents
Take time to raise the children?
(take the time, take the time, take the time)
Why should god care
For people anyway?
Is there a reason for anyone (anyone) to pray?

Hear me when I say

Repeat chorus

By the power of love he arose from the grave
By the spirit of god he continues to save
And his people are known
By a natural display of his love

All our sins are forgiven
Our hope is secure
There's a reason to live now forevermore
He is love
He is alive
I'm alive

(jesus, jesus, jesus, jesus)

Spoken
Walked out of the tomb, victor over decay!
Because he lives, we are certain that his life in
Every baby born, every tree that buds
Every seed that sprouts is proof
Of our need for resurrection
Had not the spirit of yahweh
Stirred within the cold body of our crucified lord
There'd be no certainty
That the spirit of life
Could conquer the death in our own hearts
Or in our broken, dying world
But the warmth of god's spirit did move
And jesus will conquer our own dying spirit
The living lord replaces despair with hope
And gives us courage where there was fear
He gives us the certainty it takes
To train our children and the love it takes
To conquer hatred
Pessimism, and distrust
Jesus lives. and life wins. did ya hear me? life wins!
