Matt Maher - Christ is Risen

I just wanted to pass on this video and song because it has served my soul in my recent 'dark night'. This song has warmed my heart to the Lord when nothing else did. I've italicized my favorite lines. Please enjoy and I hope that it will stir your heart as well!
Here are the Lyrics:

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love

And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but Heaven's will
No scheme of Hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down

In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night

Sing it, o death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, He's alive, He's alive

  1. Oh! Been meaning to say: Anna loves this song (I do, too) but it cracks me up because she sings it, "Come a-lake, come a-lake, come & rise up for the day." HER version tends to get stuck in my head more!
