Bound to The Risen Christ

He who gives us the breath of life died for our sin
And every good and wholesome thing is a gift from Him
So what can we, with a conscience clean withhold from Him? Allelujah!

The God of Israel and this man, they are the same
The Lord, His name unspeakable, took a common name
Which was disgraced but has earned the place of eternal fame
Allelujah!

We live, bound to the risen Christ-
In his death and life
The Maker of all is our Salvation
Build your kingdom with our hands
As we long for the New Creation

There is no freedom in life except what was bought that day
So don't reject the priceless gift with attempts to pay
For when we hope in less than this we have gone astray
Allelujah!

But no great love have we returned to You, our King
And chilly thanks we give to You, who give everything
So broken spirits and empty hands are all we bring
Allelujah!

We live, bound to the risen Christ-
In his death and life
The Maker of all is our Salvation
Build your kingdom with our hands
As we long for the New Creation

O where were you when all his friends abandoned Him?
Yes, I was with Him on that day only by my sin
But that part died and what survives will rise with Him
Allelujah!

We who stand in the name of Christ have been remade
And bound to Him we will leave behind these empty graves
So let us sing in the face of death, 'we are not afraid'
Allelujah! Allelujah! Allelujah!
