Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chorus:
Yes, oh yes,
Jesus rose, Jesus rose, Jesus rose.

Verse 1:
Hung out on a place called Calvary,
Stayed there for three long days.
Took Him down laid Him in the grave,
Stayed there three long days.

But on that third day,somebody told me
The Man got up, the man got up;
That's why I can tell you...

Chorus

Verse 2:
Somebody in the building may be wondering,
How can you tell me that Jesus rose,
You weren't there.

Well, I wasn't there on that third day morning,
But I was right there that Friday night,
When He got up in my soul,
When He got up in my soul;
Somebody say...

Chorus

Vamp:
Jesus rose in my soul.
