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 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 weeping may last for an evening but rejoicing comes with the dawn weeping may last for an evening but rejoicing comes with the dawn ooh ooh ooh to all the wonders god will do imaginations blind what he has made hell make anew in the twinkling of an eye for death itself will be destroyed swallowed up by life because he is risen with him we will rise we will rise oh with him we will rise we will rise because he is risen we will rise oh with him we will rise we will rise
