Intro
Verse 1
Alone in my sorrow
And dead in my sin
Lost without hope
And no place to begin
Your love made a way
To let mercy come in
When death was arrested
And my life began
And dead in my sin
Lost without hope
And no place to begin
Your love made a way
To let mercy come in
When death was arrested
And my life began
Verse 2
Ash was redeemed,
Only beauty remains
And my orphan heart
Was given a name
My mourning grew quiet
My feet rose to dance
When death was arrested
And my life began
Only beauty remains
And my orphan heart
Was given a name
My mourning grew quiet
My feet rose to dance
When death was arrested
And my life began
Chorus 1
Oh Your grace so free
Washes over me
You have made me new,
Now life begins with You
It's Your endless love
Pouring down on us
You have made us new
Now life begins with You
Washes over me
You have made me new,
Now life begins with You
It's Your endless love
Pouring down on us
You have made us new
Now life begins with You
Verse 3
Released from my chain,
I'm a prisoner no more
My shame was a ransom
He faithfully bore
He canceled my debt
And He called me His friend
When death was arrested
And my life began
I'm a prisoner no more
My shame was a ransom
He faithfully bore
He canceled my debt
And He called me His friend
When death was arrested
And my life began
Breakdown
Verse 4
Our Savior displayed
On a criminal's cross
And darkness rejoiced
As though Heaven had lost
But then Jesus arose
With our freedom in hand
That's when death was arrested
And my life began
On a criminal's cross
And darkness rejoiced
As though Heaven had lost
But then Jesus arose
With our freedom in hand
That's when death was arrested
And my life began
Bridge
Oh we're free, free,
Forever we're free
Come join the song
Of all the redeemed
Yes we're free, free,
forever amen
When death was arrested
And my life began
Forever we're free
Come join the song
Of all the redeemed
Yes we're free, free,
forever amen
When death was arrested
And my life began
Tag
When death was arrested
And my life began
When death was arrested
And my life began
And my life began
When death was arrested
And my life began
Death Was Arrested - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song “Death Was Arrested” by North Point Worship is a powerful reminder of the freedom we have in Christ. The lyrics remind us of the hope and joy that comes from knowing that Jesus has set us free from the bondage of sin and death.
The Bible tells us in Romans 6:23 that “the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Jesus paid the ultimate price for our sins when He died on the cross. He took our place and bore the punishment for our sins so that we could be set free.
The lyrics of the song remind us of the joy and freedom that comes from knowing that Jesus has set us free. We are no longer bound by our sins, but instead we are free to live in the joy and peace of knowing that Jesus has given us a new life.
The song also reminds us of the hope that comes from knowing that Jesus has conquered death. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 that “Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
We can rejoice in the knowledge that Jesus has conquered death and given us a new life. We can live in the freedom and joy of knowing that Jesus has set us free from the bondage of sin and death. We can be thankful for the hope and joy that comes from knowing that Jesus has given us a new life.
