Death Was Arrested
People of The Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost without hope and no place to begin
Your love made a way to let mercy come in
When death was arrested and my life began
Ash was redeemed,
Only beauty remains
My mourning grew quiet,
My feet rose to dance
When death was arrested and my life began
Oh, Your grace so free
Washes over me
You have made me new now
Life begins with you
Released form my chains
I'm a prisoner no more
My shame was a ransom He faithfully bore
He canceled my debt
And He called me His friend
When death was arrested and my life began
Oh, Your grace so free
Washes over me
You have made me new now
Life begins with you
It's your endless love
Pouring down on us
You have made us new now
Life begins with you
Our savior displayed on a criminal's cross
And darkness rejoiced as though heaven had lost
But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand
That's when death was arrested and my life began
That's when death was arrested and my life began
Oh, Your grace so free
Washes over me
You have made me new now
Life begins with you
It's your endless love
Pouring down on us
You have made us new now
Life begins with you
Oh we're free, free
Forever we're free
Come join the song
Of all the redeemed
Yes we're free, free
Forever amen
When death was arrested
And my life began
We're free, free
Forever we're free
Come join the song
Of all the redeemed
Yes we're free, free
Forever amen
When death was arrested
And my life began
When death was arrested and my life began
When death was arrested
And my life began

Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin
I was isolated, in despair, and spiritually dead
Lost without hope and no place to begin
I was hopeless and didn't know where to turn
Your love made a way to let mercy come in
God's love allowed me to receive mercy
When death was arrested and my life began
My life started anew when I was saved
Ash was redeemed,
God took my brokenness and made it beautiful
Only beauty remains
All that's left is something beautiful
And my orphan heart was given a name
I found acceptance as God's child
My mourning grew quiet,
The pain I felt subsided
My feet rose to dance
I was filled with joy and enthusiasm
Oh, Your grace so free
God's freely given grace
Washes over me
Covers me completely
You have made me new now
I'm a new person because of God's love
Life begins with you
My life started anew when I was saved
Released form my chains
I was set free from bondage
I'm a prisoner no more
I'm no longer a slave to sin
My shame was a ransom He faithfully bore
God paid the price for my sins
He canceled my debt
He wiped my slate clean
And He called me His friend
God loves me like a friend
Our savior displayed on a criminal's cross
Jesus died on the cross for us
And darkness rejoiced as though heaven had lost
Evil thought it had won
But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand
Jesus rose again, and we were freed
That's when death was arrested and my life began
Salvation provided new life for me
Oh we're free, free
We have been set free from sin and death
Forever we're free
We will always be free in Christ
Come join the song
Join us in celebrating our new life
Of all the redeemed
Everyone who has been saved
Forever amen
It's true, now and forever
When death was arrested
The moment we were saved
And my life began
Our new life in Christ
