We get tired, we can't win
We were dead in our sin
But there's a hope, a new life
The pressure's off, cause Jesus christ's alive

So we can rejoice
Though we're grieved by various trials for a little while
Cause a genuine faith under testing
Brings honor and glory to our great king

By God's great mercy we have been born again
Because Jesus christ is alive
Our living hope is in our inheritance
Because Jesus christ is alive
No grip of fear, no sting in death
By his mercy we have been born again
Because Jesus christ is alive

We don't have to bear the load
We don't have to have control
We are free from guilt and shame
ʻCause when he rose, he left death in it's grave

No grip of fear, no sting in death
Because Jesus christ is alive
We're free from guilt, we're free from shame
Because Jesus christ is alive
We're free to live for Jesus' fame
Because Jesus christ is alive
