If there is no resurrection,
our faith is all in vain,
and once we leave this mortal life,
we'll never live again!

If there is no resurrection,
then Jesus Christ has lied,
and we're bound for the Lake of Fire
the instant that we die!

If there is no resurrection,
our faith in Him is naught,
and we've nothing left to hope for
when our fight on earth is fought!

But there IS a resurrection,
Christ has risen from the grave!
Now we can have eternal life;
hallelujah, we've been saved!!!
