Acappella If He Had Not Risen song lyrics

Do you believe

There's much more to this life

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

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

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"

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)

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 Walked out of the tomb,

Victor over decay!

And because he lives,

We are certain that his life in 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 you hear me?

Llife wins!
