1)
THERE WAS A MAN WHO DIED ONE DAY
JESUS OUR SAVIOR WAS HIS NAME
HE SUFFERED SUCH AGONY AND PAIN
THE WORLD TO SET FREE
WHEN THEY PLACED HIM IN THE TOMB
SATAN THOUGHT HE'D SEALED HIS DOOM
BUT THE GRAVE COULD NOT CLAIM NO VICTORY
HE GOT UP FOR ME
2)
MARY CAME UNTO THE PLACE
TO VIEW THE TOMB WHERE HE WAS LAID
AND THERE SHE FOUND THE STONE ROLLED AWAY
AND HE WAS NOT THERE
THEN A VOICE BEHIND HER CAME
IT WAS OUR SAVIOR WHO HAD BEEN SLAIN
THE VICTORY WAS WAN OH PRAISE HIS DEAR NAME
HE GOT UP FOR ME
OH NO ONE CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND
THE LOVE MY LORD HAS FOR A FALLEN MAN
AND HOW HE CAN SAVE A SOUL FROM SIN
BY TRUSTING HIS NAME
A MANSION FOR THOSE HE'S GONE TO PREPARE
IN THAT CITY BEYOND COMPARE
WHERE WE WILL LIVE ETERNALLY
CAUSE HE GOT UP FOR ME
Chorus
HE GOT UP FOR ME
HE GOT UP FOR ME
HE AROSE FROM THE DEAD JUST LIKE HE SAID
TO SET MY SOUL FREE
THE STING OF DEATH HE TOOK AWAY
WHEN HE AROSE ON THAT THIRD DAY
FOREVER IN HEAVEN WITH HIM I'LL STAY
CAUSE HE GOT UP FOR ME
END:
FOREVER IN HEAVEN WITH HIM I'LL STAY
CAUSE HE GOT UP FOR ME
