about
I debuted this song in public on Good Friday 2012 in Aliso Viejo, California. About a year later, on Easter Sunday 2013 I performed it with a full worship team at a church in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, trying out my vocal arrangement ideas for the first time. This first full studio recording of the song finally captures the basic arrangement ideas I've had in my head since that time.
lyrics
HALLELUJAH, HE IS RISEN
words and music by Rick Paul
It was Sunday morning, and the stone was rolled away
And she was standin' by His grave
Where was the man who died on Calvary
Who cried out, "why have you forsaken me?"
Then an angel came and stood there by her side
Said, "don't you know He's alive"
"Hallellujah, He is risen
Hallelujah, have no fear
Hallelujah, he is risen
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, He's not here"
Two thousand years have come and gone since then
And some are askin' where he's been
I only know He wasn't in that grave
And by His blood we have been saved
If you believe He is who He said He was
You're goin' to Heaven just because...
"Hallellujah, He is risen
Hallelujah, have no fear
Hallelujah, he is risen
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, He's still here
If you believe He is who He said He was
You're goin' to Heaven just because...
"Hallellujah, He is risen
Hallelujah, have no fear
Hallelujah, he is risen
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, He's still here
