Author: Shirley E. Murray Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #410 Refrain First Line: The stone has rolled away Lyrics: 1. Because You live, O Christ,
The garden of the world has come to flower;
The darkness of the tomb
Is flooded with Your resurrection power.
Refrain
The stone has rolled away
And death cannot imprison!
O sing this Easter Day,
For Jesus Christ has risen,
Has risen, has risen, has risen!
2. Because You live, O Christ,
The spirit bird of hope is freed for flying;
Our cages of despair
No longer keep us closed and life-denying. [Refrain]
3. Because You live, O Christ,
The rainbow of Your peace will span creation,
The colors of Your love
Will draw all humankind to adoration. [Refrain]
