Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

We knew He was dead, it is finished, He said

We had watched as His life ebbed away

Then we all stood around till the guards took Him down

Joseph begged for His body that day


It was late afternoon when we got to the tomb

Wrapped His body and sealed up the grave

So I know how you feel, His death was so real

But please listen and hear what I say


I've just seen Jesus, I tell you He's alive

I've just seen Jesus, our precious Lord alive

And I knew He really saw me too

As if till now I'd never lived

All that I'd done before won't matter anymore

I've just seen Jesus and I'll never be the same again


It was His voice she first heard, those kind gentle words

Asking what was her reason for tears

And I sobbed in despair, my Lord is not there

He said, ?Child, it is I, I am here?
