Because you live, O Christ, the garden of the world has come to flower, the darkness of the tomb is flooded with your resurrection power. Refrain: The stone has rolled away and death cannot imprison! O sing this Easter Day, for Jesus Christ has risen, has risen, has risen, has risen! Because you live, O Christ, the spirit bird of hope is freed for flying, our cages of despair no longer keep us closed and life-denying. Refrain Because you live, O Christ, the rainbow of your peace will span creation, the colors of your love will draw all humankind to adoration. Refrain
