Lyrics

Chorus:
Alle, alle, alleluia,
Alle, alle, alleluia,
Praise Him every day.
Every day, sing alle,
Every day, sing alle,
Alleluia.

He lived for us, He died for us,
He rose from the dead.
He freed us from the grasp of sin,
He rose from the dead.

He was a man, yet God’s own son
He rose from the dead.
He shares his glory with us now,
He rose from the dead.

He lights the darkness of our lives
He rose from the dead.
With him we rise to die no more
He rose from the dead.
