Story behind the song
This music was written by our drummer, Tod Pritchett, with lyrics by Jim Arnold. It's a good showcase for their instrumental skills as well!
Lyrics
Taken from the Cross and Laid to rest inside a rock That was His tomb Earthen womb... By His friends forsaken On the third day he awakened And was gone Still He lives on... At dawn the women came that day And saw the stone was rolled away Inside the tomb they heard an angel say "Don't be afraid" Chorus: He's not here! He is Risen He Lives On! He's not here! He is Risen He Lives On! When the Enemy surrounds you And he seems about to Land the final blow Where do you go? If you're heart is heavy And you're spirit feels so very Far from home You're not alone! Just remember on that ancient day The lonely friends The empty grave Listen now and hear the Angel say "Don't be afraid" repeat Chorus
