verse 1 
E              C#m 
 We get tired, we can't win 
F#m            B 
 We were dead in our sin 
E                      C#m 
 But there's a hope, a new life 
F#m                         B7 
 The pressure's off, cause Jesus Christ's alive

A              E                             C#m         G#m 
 So we can rejoice, though we're grieved by various trials for a little while 
A                  E                   C#m               B 
 'cause a genuine faith under testing brings honor and glory to our great King 

E                C#m                     F#m           B 
 By God's great mercy we have been born again because Jesus Christ is alive 
E            C#m               F#m               B 
 Our living hope is in our inheritance, because Jesus Christ is alive 
C#m         G#m                A             C#m               F#m 
 No grip of fear, no sting in death, by His mercy we have been born again 
          B               E 
 because Jesus Christ is alive 


verse 2 
E              C#m 
We don't have to bear the load 
F#m            B 
We don't have to have control 
E              C#m 
We are free from guilt and shame 
F#m                   B7 
'cause when He rose, he left death in it's grave

 We're free from guilt, we're free from shame, because Jesus Christ is alive

 We're free to live for Jesus' fame, because Jesus Christ is alive
