He's Alive (feat. Gaither Vocal Band) |
The gates and doors were barred |
And all the windows fastened down |
I spent the night in sleeplessness |
And rose at every sound |
Half in hope of sorrow |
And half in fear the day |
Would find the soldiers breakin' through |
To drag us all away |
And just before the sunrise |
I heard something at the wall |
The gate began to rattle |
And a voice began to call |
I hurried to the window |
Looked down into the street |
Expecting swords and torches |
And the sound of soldiers' feet |
But there was no one there but Mary |
So I went down to let her in John stood there beside me As she told me where she’d been |
She said they’ve moved Him in the night |
And none of us know where |
The stone’s been rolled away |
And now His body isn’t there |
We both ran towards the garden |
Then John ran on ahead |
We found the stone and empty tomb |
Just the way that Mary said |
But the winding sheet they wrapped Him in Was just an empty shell |
And how or where they’d taken Him |
Was more than I could tell |
Oh something strange had happened there |
Just what I did not know |
John believed a miracle |
But I just turned to go Circumstance and speculation |
Couldn’t lift me very high |
'Cause I’d seen them crucify Him |
Then I saw Him die |
Back inside the house again |
The guilt and anguish came |
Everything I’d promised Him |
Just added to my shame |
When at last it came to choices |
I denied I knew His name |
And even if He was alive |
It wouldn’t be the same |
But suddenly the air was filled |
With a strange and sweet perfume |
Light that came from everywhere |
Drove shadows from the room |
And Jesus stood before me With His arms held open wide |
And I fell down on my knees |
And I just clung to Him and cried |
Then He raised me to my feet |
And as I looked into His eyes |
The love was shining out from Him |
Like sunlight from the skies |
Guilt in my confusion |
Disappeared in sweet release |
And every fear I ever had |
Just melted into peace |
He’s alive yes He’s alive |
Yes He’s alive and I’m forgiven |
Heaven’s gates are open wide |
He’s alive yes He’s alive |
Oh He’s alive and I’m forgiven |
Heaven’s gates are open wide |
He’s alive He’s alive |
Hallelujah He’s alive |
He’s alive and I’m forgiven |
Heaven’s gates are open wide |
He’s alive He’s alive He’s alive |
I believe it He’s alive |
Sweet Jesus |
