Christ is Alive! Let Christians Sing

1     Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
        The cross stands empty to the sky.
        Let streets and homes with praises ring.
        Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
 
2     Christ is alive! No longer bound
        to distant years in Palestine,
        but saving, healing, here and now,
        and touching ev’ry place and time.
 
3     In ev’ry insult, rift, and war,
        where color, scorn, or wealth divide,
        Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
        and lives, where even hope has died.
 
4     Women and men, in age and youth,
        can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
        and find the way, the life, the truth,
        revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
 
5     Christ is alive, and comes to bring
        good news to this and every age,
        till earth and sky and ocean ring
        with joy, with justice, love, and praise.
