See what a Morning

See what a morning gloriously bright
With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem
Folded the grave-clothes tomb filled with light
As the angels announce Christ is risen
See God's salvation plan
Wrought in love borne in pain paid in sacrifice
Fullfilled in Christ the Man
For He lives Christ is risen from the dead

See Mary weeping "Where is He laid?"
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb
Hears a voice speaking calling her name
It's the Master the Lord raised to life again
The voice that spans the years
Speaking life stirring hope bringing peace to us
Will sound till He appears
For He lives Christ is risen from the dead

One with the Father Ancient of Days
Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty
Honour and blessing glory and praise
To the King crowned with power and authority
And we are raised with Him
Death is dead love has won Christ has conquered
And we shall reign with Him
For He lives Christ is risen from the dead

云上太阳 The Sun Above the Clouds

无论是住在美丽的高山
或是躺卧在阴暗的幽谷
当你抬起头
你将会发现
主已为你我而预备

无论是住在美丽的高山
或是躺卧在阴暗的幽谷
当你抬起头
你将会发现
主已为你我而预备

云上太阳 它总不改变
虽然小雨洒在脸上
云上太阳 它总不改变
哈啊 它不改变
