Now is a rush of beating wings
Pounding heart and space between
Day breathes in and out again
Now every soul is in the stream
Of a story line in need
Of a death-defying plan
Then God was cornered in the grave
But another moment came
Just in time to save the day
This is the moment history cracked
Love's mighty second act
Stands forever on the stage
And its echo never fades
Now arise, now arise
On the breath of Easter morning
Come alive, come alive
By the breath of Easter morning
His glory still shines
Now and for all time
This is where life begins
Life begins now
Life begins now
Life begins now
Life begins now
Now in the time it takes these words
To fly down a million nerves
And turn into "I believe"
Life like a seed from Eden grows
And death falls like tattered clothes
From a heart that Love set free
Every heart can be set free
Now arise, now arise
On the breath of Easter morning
Come alive, come alive
By the breath of Easter morning
Now and forevermore
He is our open door
This is where life begins
Life begins now
Life begins now
Life begins now
Life begins now
His glory still shines
Now and for all time
This is where life begins
Now and forevermore
He is our open door
This is where life begins
Now arise, now arise
On the breath of Easter morning
Come alive, come alive
By the breath of Easter morning
Life begins now
(Now arise, now arise)
Life begins now
(On the breath of Easter morning)
Life begins now in you
(Come alive, come alive)
Life begins now
(By the breath of Easter morning)
Now (Now arise, now arise)
Now
Now
Now
