Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why do you cry? He has risen
Why are you weeping? He's not dead
Why do you cry? He has risen
Why are you weeping? He's not dead
He paid it all on that lonely highway, hey
And His anointing I can feel
He shed His blood (Oh, oh, oh) for my transgressions (Oh, oh, oh)
And by His stripes we are healed
[Verse 2]
Why do you cry? He has risen
Why are you weeping? He's not dead
So as you go through lifes journey, He
Don't you worry lift up your head
Don't you cry (Oh, oh, oh) Stop your weeping (Oh, oh, oh)
He has risen He's not dead
Don't cry
Wipe your eyes
He's not dead
Oh, don't weep
He's not asleep
Je-hovah
He's not dead
Oh, don't cry
Wipe your eyes
He's not dead
[Verse 3]
Whoa, don't cry
Wipe your eyes
He's not dead
Whoa, don't cry, wipe your eyes
He's not dead
Whoa, don't cry
Wipe your eyes
He's not dead
Whoa, don't cry
Wipe your eyes
He's not dead
