about

I originally wrote this back around Eastertide, 1998. The 2nd verse came in July 2001, the last chorus 2016. I recorded it this last month and completed the artwork this week. All in all, 20 years. Proof of God's patience! Enjoy.

lyrics

He’ll Rise (with guitar chords)

(Playing only top 3 strings)
Em(E) Em(Eb) G(Dshape) G(Db)
1. All they could see was their Christ, cruci-fied.
Em Em(Eb) G(Dshape) G(Db)
Nailed to a tree all they could do was watch as he died.
Am(5th) F7(5th) G Bsus4 B
Helpless, hopeless, numb with grief and pain.
Am
As his blood ran down
Am(addF#bottom) (add cello 2nd time round)
from his black-thorn crown,
Em
and the soldiers sing
Em(add F#top)
to the Jewish king.
F
Pierced and torn,

fierce with scorn,
Am B
they throw the dice a-gain.

E A
Ch. But he’ll rise, he’ll rise
G C
he’ll rise with the dawn (x4)

2. All she could see was the stone rolled away.
Inside, the strips of linen lying where he lay.
Helpless, hopeless, numb with grief and pain.
As the tears run down, two people there,
‘They took my Lord; I don’t know where.’
Behind, a third: calls her name,
'Lord you live again!'
E A
Ch. For he rose, he rose
G C
he rose with the dawn (x4)
