and the stars and the suns shout on this joyful Day!
Christ is alive, and his family must celebrate
in a great alleluia,
a great alleluia
to praise the power that made the stone roll away.
2 Here is our hope: in the mystery of suffering
is the heartbeat of Love, Love that will not let go;
here is our hope, that in God we are not separate,
and we sing alleluia,
we sing alleluia
to praise the power that made the stone roll away.
3 Christ Spirit, dance through the dullness of humanity
to the music of God, God who has set us free!
You are the pulse of the new creation's energy;
with a great alleluia,
a great alleluia
to praise the power that made the stone roll away. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year Easter; Dance; Hope; Renewal Used With Tune: HEARTBEAT
