Song History
Risen!
Words & Music: Dennis Jernigan
Received on April 16, 2015
Jesus and the work of the cross and the
cleansing blood and the resurrection are
never very far from my mind. Jesus is never
far from my mind. When the world around
me loses its very mind and walks away
from even common sense - much less
from the wisdom of God’s Word - I go back
to foundational Truth. When I go back to
foundational Truth, my mind is flooded with
joy and songs like Risen! are the result.
As the song came I was immediately drawn
back to the time of my first love - when
Jesus first bombarded me with freeing
love - when the music of a band called
2nd Chapter of Acts became an integral
and intense part of my healing. As the
melody unfolded, I found great joy in
singing in the style of my first love.
This song is simple in many ways...but deeply
foundational at the same time.
Enjoy Jesus as you sing it!

Come, see the place where He was lying.”

Verse
Tell everybody!
Shout it from the rooftop!
Tell everybody the Good, Good News!
That Jesus Christ is risen from the grave!
Tell everybody!
Shout it from the rooftop!
Tell everybody the Good, Good News!
He conquered sin and rolled the stone away!
Jesus bore my cross
And took upon Himself my sin!
Shed His blood to conquer Hell!
He died and rose again!
Chorus
He is risen! Hallelujah!
Washed away my sin!
And I'll never, ever be the same again!
He is risen! Hallelujah!
I am born again!
And I'll never, ever be the same again!
