Lyrics
Verse 1
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 hopeless sorrow and half in fear the day
Would find the soldiers breakin' through to drag us all away
Verse 2
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, down into the street
Expecting swords and torches and the sound of soldiers' feet
Verse 3
There was no one there but Mary, and so I went down to let her in
And 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 and now His body isn't there
Verse 4
We both ran toward 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
Verse 5
Well something strange had happened there, but 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
Verse 6
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
Verse 7
But suddenly the air was filled with a strange and sweet perfume
Light that came from everywhere drove the shadows from the room
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
Verse 8
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 dissappeared in sweet release
Every fear I'd ever had just melted into peace
Chorus
He's alive, He's alive
He's alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's gates are open wide
Tag
He's alive, he's alive, he's alive...
