He`s Alive
Don Francisco

Intro Am7 Am6 Am7 Am6


  Am
The gates and doors were barred
      G        Am
and all the windows fastened down

I spent the night in sleeplessness
  G6      Am
and rose at every sound
Dm
Half in hopeless sorrow
  G6        Am
and half in fear the day

Would find the soldiers breaking through
  G      Am  G
to drag us all away


  Am
And just before the sunrise
    G        Am
I heard something at the wall

The gate began to rattle
   G       Am
and a voice began to call
 Dm
I hurried to the window
      G6     Am
and looked down to the street

Expecting swords and torches
    G      G7  Am G6
and the sound of soldiers feet


     Am
There was no one there but Mary
   G6          Am
so I went down to let her in

John stood there beside me
    G          Am
as she told us were she`d been
  Dm
She said they moved him in the night
           Am
and none of us knows where

The stones been rolled away
      G     Am
and now his body isn`t there


We both ran toward the garden
   G      Am
then John ran on ahead

We found the stone and empty tomb
     G       Am
just the way that Mary said
    Dm
But the winding sheet they wrapped him in
         Am
was just an empty shell

And how or where they`d taken him
  G         Am  G
was more than I could tell


   Am
Well something strange had happened there
   G       Am
Just what I did not know

John believed a miracle
  G        Am
but I just turned to go
    Dm
Circumstance and speculation
     G      Am
couldn`t lift me very high
                 G
Cause I`d seen them crucify him
  G7        Am  G6
and then I`d saw him die


Am
Back inside the house again
    G         Am
all the guilt and anguish came

Everything I`d promised him
   G      Am
just added to my shame
    Dm
when at last it came to choices
          Am
I denied I knew his name
           G
Even If he was alive
          Am  G6
it wouldn`t be the same


Am
suddenly the air was filled
                 G
with a strange and sweet perfume
Am
Light that came from everywhere

drove shadows from the room
Dm
Jesus stood before me
     G       Am
with his arms held open wide

And I fell down on my knees
     G        Am   G6
and just clung to him and cried


  Am
He raised me to my feet
     G6       Am
and as I looked into his eyes

Love was shining out from him
   G6        C
like sunlight from the skies
F
Guilt and my confusion
   G         Am
disappeared in sweet release

And every fear I`d ever had
   G6      A
just melted into peace


C G D
