	Story Behind the Song This song was one of our earlier hymn remixes I wrote it to use at a service during the Greenbelt festival the other year, where I needed a song that most people knew. The tune of the song is an ancient French carol, Noel Nouvelet. I wrote the hard deep bassline to try and balance the tune which can sound "twee" if sung in a certain way (or it certainly used to do when I sang it at school assemblies!) Once again Fiona did the honours with the singing and I love the way the purity of her voice contrasts with the bass and drums. Lyrics Now the shoots of Spring Have risen from the ground Winter has been hard But grains of hope are found Love lives again That with the dead has been Love is come again Like wheat that springs up green. Slaughtered by our race We placed you in the grave For the dead don t walk Or stretch their hands to save Laid in a tomb Like seeds that have to die Love is come again Compassion lifted high. As day rose at dawn The Son of God rose too. Trampling over death A harvest from the tomb. Christ come to life To touch our world anew Love is come again Your promises come true. When our hearts are crushed, By grief or piercing pain. Your warm touch can heal us Bringing us life again. Leaves of bright hope That concrete cannot kill Love is come again. The dead are rising still.
