I was personally named after this hymn.
It is also the inspiration behind "Arose" in Arose Studios. 

I really wanted to strip it down in the recording, just have piano and voice and recorded the main vocal in one take.

When preparing to record this hymn the verse came to me from Matthew 27 when many mocked Him on the cross: "He saved others; Himself He cannot save." they said this, not realizing His triumphant day was coming, His glorious, precious resurrection.

Low in the grave He lay
Jesus my Savior
Waiting the coming day
Jesus my Lord!

Vainly they watch His bed
Jesus my Savior
Vainly they sealed the dead
Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose!
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes
He arose a victor from the dark domain
and He lives forever with His saints to reign
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Death cannot keep his prey
Jesus my Savior
He tore the bars away
Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave He arose!
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes
He arose a victor from the dark domain
and He lives forever with His saints to reign
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Christ Arose

An inheritance of  light seekers—psalmists, prophets, wanderers—those who waited before the dawn.
