Love Strikes Back
Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Mark E. Ellis
Cm Fm Cm G
1. The crosses are empty now and the tombs now are full.
Cm Fm Cm G
Death is a shadow dark and sin still has its rule
Fm G Cm
But this is not the end. No, He’ll be back again.
Fm G Cm
In just three days and nights, and by dawn’s early light
Fm G Cm
He will be back again. He’ll be back again.
Cm Fm Cm G
2. Stone cold lies the silent tomb. God, how can this be fair?
Cm Fm Cm G
Searching for the Savior and can’t find Him anywhere.
Fm G Cm
But this is not the end. No, he’ll be back again.
Fm G Cm
In just three days and nights, and by dawn’s early light,
Fm G Cm
He will be back again. He’ll be back again.

CH. Love strikes back and now death’s cold dark sting
Bb Fm
Is empty and powerless before Messiah king.
Fm Cm
Love strikes back and now all sin and death,
Bb Fm G
Unforgiving and merciless, have breathed their last breath
Fm G Cm
As love strikes back. Love strikes back.
Cm Fm Cm G
3. Soon that cave of cold despair, so full of fear and doubt,
Cm Fm Cm G
Will fill with the morning air in spiritual turnabout,
Fm G Cm
‘Cause this is not the end. No, He’ll be back again,
Fm G Cm
In just three days and nights and by dawn’s early light,
Fm G Cm
He will be back again. He’ll be back again.
Bb Cm
TAG: Sin and death prepare to die.
Bb G Cm
The Savior’s risen and He is alive.
