Christ was born in Bethlehem,
Bethlehem, Bethlehem,
Christ was born in Bethlehem,
According to the Bible.
Jesus Christ was crucified,
Crucified, Crucified,
Jesus Christ was crucified,
According to the Bible.
Three days He arose again,
Arose again, arose again,
Three days He arose again,
According to the Bible.
Some day He will come again,
Come again, come again,
Some day He will come again,
According to the Bible.
Christ is Risen
Tune: Are You Sleeping?
Christ is risen, Christ is risen!
Yes, He is! Yes, He is!
Risen for creation, and for every nation,
Yes, He is! Yes, He is!
Christ went to Heaven, Christ went to Heaven,
Yes, He did! Yes, He did!
It was so amazing,
People stood their gazing.
Yes, they did! Yes, they did!

Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess,
That Jesus Christ is Lord.

J-E-S-U-S

Our Heavenly Father sent his Son,
And Jesus is His name, oh!
J-E-S-U-S, J-E-S-U-S, J-E-S-U-S
and Jesus is his name, oh!
He brought salvation to the world…
He lived a sinless life for us…
He died upon the cross for us…
He raised up from the grave and lives…
Jesus Appears to Mary
Tune: Where, O, where has my little dog gone?
Where, oh, where has my Jesus gone?
Oh, where, thought Mary, is He?
For His tomb is open
And He is not there.
Oh, where, oh, where can He be?
Oh, look up, Mary, your Jesus is there.
Listen to what He will say.
Do not be afraid,
For He calls you by name.
Your Jesus rose on this day.
Then Mary hurried to share the Good News
That Jesus rose from the dead.
And just like Mary
We share the Good News
That Jesus rose from the dead.
Oh, come and join in our glad hymn of praise,
Sing Alleluia today.
For our Jesus was dead,
But now lives again,
Sing Alleluia today.
Jesus – Ascension Song
Tune: Love Lifted Me
Jesus’ work on earth was done;
He had fulfilled God’s plan.
Crucified, then he arose
All for the sake of man.
He taught them for forty days
Things that they all should know,
Then ascended back to heaven.
He did go.
Chorus:
Up in the sky
To God on high.
“Jesus will come a-gain”
Said an-gels nigh!
The Stone Rolled Away
Tune: Roll the Gospel Chariot
Oh, He died upon the cross,
(hold fingers in cross shape)
and was buried in a tomb.
(hold hand curved palm down, slide other hand underneath)
Oh, He died upon the cross,
and was buried in a tomb.
Oh, He died upon the cross,
and was buried in a tomb.
But Jesus is alive! (hold hands up in victory)
The stone, it rolled…away from the door.
(Roll arms over each other)
The stone, it rolled…away from the door.
The stone, it rolled…away from the door.
But Jesus is alive! (hold hands up in victory)
Oh we tell about His love,
(cross arms over chest in hug)
And we try to be like him.
Oh we tell about His love,
And we try to be like him.
Oh we tell about His love,
And we try to be like him.
Our Jesus is alive! (hold hands up in victory)
Oh, we will live with Him, (point upward)
In Heaven one day.
Oh, we will live with Him,
In Heaven one day.
Oh, we will live with Him,
In Heaven one day.
‘Cause Jesus is alive! (hold hands up in victory)
Up From the Grave He Arose
Tune: see hymnal, public domain
Low in the grave he lay,
Jesus, my Savior.
Waiting the coming day,
Jesus, my Lord.
Up from the grave he arose!
With a mighty triumph o’er his foes.
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And he lives forever with his saints to reign.
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah! Christ arose!
