Easter People

Now it begins again and again- The hallelujah's ring

We live the resurrection life as the redeemed all sing

In Christ there is no hopelessness He lifts us from the pit

He raised us up to live in Him so in heavenly places we sit

Since we have been raised up Set your minds on things above

We died and are hid with Christ in God As partakers of His love

We will come with Him in Glory when the Lord appears

And we know the One who ever lives changes the things we hold dear

We are the Easter People with a sense of wonder we ache

We are the Easter People Who tremble as we partake

Of life with the resurrection people Redeemed by the blood of the lamb

The people of promise and passion Who belong to the Great I am.

So now that we are lifted up On heaven fix our thoughts

And let it dominate our lives Proclaim the price by which we were bought

Because of His great love for us It's height and depth and length

We'll find power for living exerted In mystery and strength

Graced to live forever Graced to live in the light

Seated in heavenly realms Redeemed and then made right.

Standing in the tabernacle Within throne room of grace.

Dwelling in the presence most blessed In the secret holy place.

We are the Easter People with a sense of wonder we ache

We are the Easter People Who live for Jesus' sake.

All our salvation in all of its parts Are comprehended in Christ

A living Hope to rend the night, A Living fire to bear the light.
