The Risen Christ Lyrics

The risen Christ, who walks on wounded feet

From garden tomb through darkened city street

Unlocks the door of grief, despair, and fear

And speaks a word of peace to all who hear

The risen Christ, who walks with wounded side

Breathes out his Spirit on them to abide

Whose faith still wavers, who dare not believe

New grace, new strength, new purpose they receive

The risen Christ, who breaks with wounded hand

The bread for those who fail to understand

Reveals himself, despite their ling'ring tears

Enflames their hearts, then quickly disappears

May we, Christ's body, walk and serve and stand

With those oppressed in this and ev'ry land

Till all are blessed and can a blessing be

Restored in Christ to true hymanity
