Dm
Wipe away those tears, child there’s no need to cry 
Stand up on your feet, now

 Put down your shame

Dm
I see an empty grave 
G5
  I hear the heavens waking 
Angels in jubilation 
Dm                            F5
That stone’s been rolled away
G5
  I feel the darkness breaking 
I bet the devil’s shaking

Somebody celebrate  
G5                    Dm
 I see an empty grave

Dm
Wipe away those tears, child go and tell the news 
What started in the garden 
    A5
Was finished in the tomb 
Dm
Its all reversed 
The apple, the curse 
G
Three days in the ground 
Dm
Christ our Lord is risen 
A5             G5   F5  Dm
Death couldn’t hold him down
