He's Alive |
| 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 |
