He's Alive
Lyricist:Don Richard Francisco
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 of the day Find the soldiers breakin' through To drag us all away
And just before the sunrise I heard somethin' at the wall The gate began to rattle A voice began to call
I hurried to the window And 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 us where she'd been
She said, 'They've moved Him in the night And none of us knows where' The Stone's been rolled away I know His body isn't there
We both ran toward the garden Then John ran on ahead We found the stone and the empty tomb Just the way that Mary said
The windin' sheet they wrapped Him in Was just an empty shell Who or where they'd taken Him Was more than I could tell
Somethin' strange had happened here What was I didn't 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 And then I saw Him die Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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
Suddenly the air was filled With a strange and sweet perfume Light that came from everywhere Drove shadows from the room
Jesus stood before me With His arms held open wide And I fell down on my knees I just clung to Him and cried
He raised me to my feet And as I looked into His eyes Love was shining out from Him Like sunlight in the skies
Guilt in my confusion Disappeared in sweet release And every fear I'd ever had Just melted into peace
He's alive, 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 and I'm forgiven Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive, I said, 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 and I'm forgiven Heaven's gates are open wide
He's alive, yes, He's alive, He's alive
