This song is about the moment everything changes—quietly.
Not with noise, not with spectacle, but with a realisation. A shift from loss to presence. From emptiness to something alive again.
It begins in that still place. The stone rolled away, the space left behind, the feeling that hope itself might have gone. There’s no certainty at first—just absence.
And then, something changes.
Not through explanation, but through awareness. A sense that what was lost is no longer gone. That somehow, in a way that’s hard to describe, He is here again.
Alive.
This song doesn’t try to unpack that mystery. It stays with the feeling of it—the relief, the closeness, the quiet return of light after darkness.
Fear begins to fall away. The weight lifts. What felt finished suddenly isn’t.
“Risen (Simple Version)” is about that personal moment of recognition.
Not just that He is risen, but that He is present. Near. With you.
It’s not distant, not historical—it’s now.
And in that, everything changes.

Morning light
Quiet day
Stone rolled back
Hope did fade
Empty place
Nothing there
Then I felt
You were here

Alive
Here with me
By my side

Alive
Forevermore
You are mine

No more fear
No more night
You have brought
Back the light
I was lost
Now I see
You have come
Back to me

Risen
Alive
Here with me

I can feel
I can see
You are here
Close to me

Risen
Alive
Here with me
By my side
Risen
Alive
Forevermore
Forevermore
