As you ran to the grave and entered the cave
And found the stone had been rolled away what did the angel say

(He's not here he is risen he is not among the dead
He has sealed Jehovah's covenant he has crushed the serpents head
He has conquered death hell and the grave now the old debt has been cleared
He's not here he's not here)

(He's not here he is risen...
