(from Resurrection Song - Easter Play)
By Elton Smith and Dan Zigler
Jesus:
I rose up in this morning to glory bright.
The chains of death are broken! I am alive!
Reach out your hand and touch me. For I am real.
I come to give you comfort And I can save you:
(Chorus)
For I am the Resurrection,
The Resurrection and the Life.
I have returned to you.
Yes, I am the Resurrection,
That reaches through the darkest night.
Go tell the world the news.
Fear not this mortal body This earthly grave.
I know the very nature Of all that's made.
I go to meet my Father And to prepare
A home for you in heaven, Please come and join me:
(Repeat Chorus)
For I am the Resurrection,
The Resurrection and the Life.
I have returned to you.
Yes, I am the Resurrection,
That reaches through the darkest night.
Go tell the world the news.
(Ending)
Yes, I am the Resurrection.
Yes, I am the Resurrection.
Oh, I am the Resurrection.
The Resurrection and the Life,
The Resurrection and the Life.

Up Calvary mountain one dreary morn,
Trudged Christ our Savior weary and worn.
They came to the mount, the place of the skull.
It was there Jesus paid our debt in full.
As He hung on the cross and died a cruel death,
He said, "Father, forgive them,"
and with a fleeting breath,
It was finished and as Jesus gave up His ghost
A victor's song was sung by a heavenly host.
Jesus was laid to rest in a borrowed tomb
But the grave couldn't hold Him, there was no room.
He arose, He arose, let's praise His sweet name.
He loves us so; we're the reason He came.
Salvation is free, it is a gift from above.
God gave us His son because of His love
He bought us, redeemed us and set us all free.
As He gave His life there on Calvary.
