Lyrics

By the tender mercy of our God
Heaven’s dawn is breaking on us,
giving light to those who sit
in death’s dark shadow here.
Guide our feet to the way of peace now,
flood our hearts with the light of freedom.
Break the chains that hold us back
from rising with you.

Light of the world
overcome the darkness in us all.
Lord shine on us.

The sun is rising,
the dawn is breaking on us.
The Son is risen now.
He’s risen.
Death’s chains are broken,
the darkness overcome for
Jesus is risen now.
He’s risen now.

Send the angels out to all the earth,
send the Church to take the story.
Jesus who was crucified
is risen Lord of all.
In his suffering lies our healing,
in his death he bought our freedom.
In his rising death is broken,
life is given.

Light of the world
overcome the darkness in us all.
Lord shine on us.

The sun is rising,
the dawn is breaking on us.
The Son is risen now.
He’s risen.
Death’s chains are broken,
the darkness overcome for
Jesus is risen now.
He’s risen.

Night is broken, dawn has come.
Light of Jesus rise in us now.
Night is broken, dawn has come.
Light of Jesus rise in us now.
Death is broken, life has come,
Come Lord Jesus rise in us now.
Death is broken, life has come.
Come Lord Jesus rise in us now.

The sun is rising,
the dawn is breaking on us.
The Son is risen now.
He’s risen.
Death’s chains are broken,
the darkness overcome for
Jesus is risen now.
He’s risen now.
Jesus is risen now.
