he's alive - degarmo and key lyrics
the gates and doors were barred
the windows fastened down
i spent the night in sleeplessness
and rose at every sound
half in hopeless sorrow
half in fear the day
would find the soldiers breakin’ through
to drag us all away
just before the sunrise
i heard something at the wall
the gates began to rattle
a voice began to call
i hurried to the window
looked down into the street
expecting swords and torches
and the sound of soldiеrs’ feet
there was no one thеre but mary
so, i let her in
and john stood there beside me
as she told us where she’d been
she said they moved him in the night
and none of us knows where
the stone’s been rolled away
and his body isn’t there
we both ran toward the garden
then john ran on ahead
we found the stone and the empty tomb
the way that mary said
the winding sheet they wrapped him in
was just an empty sh*ll
and how or where they’d taken him
was more than i could tell
something strange had happened there
just what i did not know
john believed a miracle
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
and everything i’d promised him
just added to my shame
when, at last, it came to choices
i denied i knew his name
even if he was alive
it just would not be the same
but suddenly, the air was filled
with strange and sweet perfume
light that came from everywhere
drove the shadows from the room
and jesus stood before me
with his arms open wide
i fell down on my knees
and clung to him and cried
then he raised me to my feet
as i looked into his eyes
love was shining out from him
like sunlight from 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, he’s alive
he’s alive and i’m forgiven
heaven’s gates are open wide
he’s alive, he’s alive
oh, he’s alive
he’s alive
