Go ahead, drive the nails in my hands
Laugh at me where you stand
Go ahead, and say it isn't me
The day will come, when you will see!


(CHORUS):
'Cause I'll rise again
Ain't no power on earth can tie me down
Yes, I'll rise again
Death can't keep me in the ground!


Go ahead, and mock my name
My love for you is still the same
Go ahead, and bury me
But very soon I will be free!


(CHORUS):
'Cause I'll rise again
Ain't no power on earth can tie me down
Yes, I'll rise again
Death can't keep me in the ground!


(INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE)


Go ahead, and say I'm dead and gone
But you will see that you were wrong
Go ahead, try to hide the Son
But all will see that I'm the One!


(CHORUS II):
'Cause I'll Come again
Ain't no power on earth can keep me back
Yes, I'll come again
Come to take my people back
