(Drums + bass + organ + guitar, Full horn section harmony]
Felt weighed down, couldn’t see my way
Carried all my yesterdays
Shame tried to hold me in that place
But grace stepped in and made a way
[Horn Stabs]
Stone rolled back, light broke through
Now I see what love can do
If He walked out of that grave
Then I know I’m not the same
[Horn Stabs]
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m leaving the old behind me
New life is calling my name
I’m stepping into Your promise
I’ll never be the same
[Horn Stabs]
[Chorus – Big, catchy, choir joins]
He got up… we get up!
No more staying down, we rise up!
New life, new walk, hands up
He got up… we get up!
He got up… we get up!
Every chain broke, we rise up!
From the grave to grace—look up!
He got up… we get up!
[Verse 2]
Used to feel stuck in my mistakes
Now I’m living in His grace
Every step I take is new
All because He made me new
[Horn Stabs]
Darkness tried but couldn’t win
Resurrection lives within
What He did, it wasn’t small
Now I’m walking, standing tall
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m walking in new life now
Old things are passed away
Because You rose with power
I’m rising every day
[Chorus – Bigger, ad libs]
He got up… we get up!
No more staying down, we rise up!
New life, new walk, hands up
He got up… we get up!
He got up… we get up!
Every chain broke, we rise up!
From the grave to grace—look up!
He got up… we get up!
[Bridge – Break down → build (call & response)]
Leader: If He rose…
Choir: Then we rise!
Leader: New life…

Choir: Come alive!
All: Because He rose—we rise!
[Scripture Break – Half-time groove]
Buried with Him, raised to life
Walking now in the light
Romans 6:4
We’re made new… we’re made right
[Final Chorus – Full energy / vamp]
He got up… we get up!
No more staying down, we rise up!
New life, new walk, hands up
He got up… we get up!
(Vamp / Ad libs)
— I’m up now!
— New life, I’m walking in it!
— He got up… I’m getting up!
[Outro – Smooth fade with choir]
Because He got up…
We don’t stay down…
We rise… we live… we walk…
In newness of life…
