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


     A
He`s alive
     C
He`s alive
     G
He`s alive and I`m forgiven
        D
Heavens gates are open wide
     A
He`s alive
     C
He`s alive
     G
He`s alive and I`m forgiven
        D
Heavens gates are open wide
     A
He`s alive
     C
He`s alive
     G
He`s alive and I`m forgiven
        D
Heavens gates are open wide
     A
He`s alive
     C
He`s alive
     G      D   A
He`s alive....
