Lyrics:
Christ still rises when fear grips our city,
when death takes no pity,
when much is unknown.
Christ still rises when friends are divided,
when joy feels misguided,
when we are alone.
Christ still rises when churches are shuttered,
when praises are muttered,
when prayers go unsaid.
Christ still rises when peace has all faded,
when we are most jaded,
when faith turns to dread,
when faith turns to dread.

Christ still rises when we give to neighbors,
when we share our labors,
when strangers belong.
Christ still rises when we come together,
when love is our tether,
when hope is our song.
Christ still rises when grieving is ended,
when bodies are mended,
when beauty heals pain.
Christ still rises when fear has retreated,
when death is defeated
and joy will remain,
and joy will remain.
