Listen, Sisters! Listen, Brothers!

Listen

sis­ters! List­en

bro­thers!

To the news that we pro­claim.

Spread the word

and tell your neigh­bors

We have life in Je­sus’ name.

All be­cause God loves us dear­ly

Jesus died for all our sin.

On the third day

God showed clear­ly

Love has con­quered

death can’t win.

What could be our pro­cla­ma­tion

If our Lord had not been raised?

For with­out his re­sur­rect­ion

What could give hope to our days?

But

in fact

our Christ is liv­ing;

First to live

of those who’ve died.

For as all are lost through Ad­am

So in Christ

we’re made al­ive.

What is sown will sure­ly per­ish;

What is raised will still en­dure.

What is sown is sown in weak­ness;

What is raised will die no more.

Flesh and blood can­not in­her­it

That great king­dom God will bring.

God will change us

nev­er fear it!

Death

de­feat­ed

has no sting.
