David Phelps - He's Alive

Chorus / Description : 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, 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

He's Alive Lyrics

The gates and doors were barred
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 breaking through
To drag us all away

Then just before the sunrise
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 soldier's 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
And now His body isn't there

So 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'd wrapped Him in
Was just an empty shell
And how or where they'd taken Him
It 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
So even if He was alive
It could never be the same

Then suddenly the air was filled
With a strange and sweet perfume
Light that came from everywhere
Drove shadows from the room

Then Jesus stood before me
With His arms held open wide
And I fell down on my knees
And just clung to Him and cried

But then He raised me to my feet
And as I looked into His eyes
Love was shining out from Him
Like sunlight from the skies

Guilt and 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, 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
