Verse 1
(A minor) The gates and doors were barred
And all the (G major) windows fastened (A minor) down
I spent the night in sleeplessness
And (G major) jumped at every sound (A minor)
(D minor) Half in hopeless sorrow
And (G major) half in fear that (A minor) day
Would find the soldiers breaking through
And (G major) drag us all (A minor) away
Verse 2
Just before the sunrise (A minor)
I heard (G major) something at the (A minor) wall
The gate began to rattle
And a (G major) voice began to (A minor) call
I (D minor) hurried to the window
Looked (G major) down into the street
(A minor) Expecting swords and torches
And the sound (G major) of soldiers (A minor) feet
But there was no one there but Mary
So I went (G major) down to let her (A minor) in
And John stood there beside me
As she (G major) told us where she'd (A minor) been
"They've (D major) moved Him in (D minor) the night
And (G major) none of us knows (A minor) where
The stone's been rolled away
And now His (G major) body isn't
(A minor) there"
(stone's been rolled away and now
His (G major) body (A minor) is n't there)

Verse 3
We both ran toward the garden
Then (G major) John ran on ahead
(A minor) We found the stone and empty tomb
Just the (G major) way that Mary said
(A minor) But the (D major) winding (D minor) sheet they
wrapped Him in
Was (G major) just an empty (A minor) shell
And how or where they'd taken Him
Was (G major) more than I could (A minor) tell
Verse 4
(A minor) Something strange had happened there
Just (G major) what I did not (A minor) know
John believed a miracle
But (G major) I just turned to (A minor) go
Circum (D minor) stance and speculation
Couldn't (G major) lift me very (A minor) high
I had seen them crucify Him (G major)
And I saw Him (A minor) die
Verse 5
(A minor) Back inside the house again
The (G major) guilt and anguish (A minor) came
Everything I had promised Him
Just (G major) added to my shame
(A minor) When at (D minor) last it came to choice
I had denied (G major) I knew His (A minor) name
And even if He were alive
I know it (G major) wouldn't be the (A minor) same
Verse 6
Suddenly the air was filled With a (G major)
strange and sweet perfume
(A minor) Light that came from everywhere
Drove (G major) shadows from the (A minor) room
And (D minor) Je sus stood before me
With His (G major) arms held open (A minor) wide
I fell down on my knees
And I (G major) clung to Him and (A minor) cried
Verse 7
(Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah)
(A minor)
He raised me to my feet
And as I (G major) looked into His (A minor) eye s
The love was shining out from Him
Like (G major) sunlight from the (A minor) skies
(D minor) Guilt and my confusion
Disappeared (G major) in sweet re (A minor) lease
And every fear I ever had
Just (G major) melted (A minor) into peace
(A major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 8
(D major)
He's (A major) alive, He's (C major) alive
He's (G major) alive and I'm forgiven
Heaven's (D major) gates are open wide
He's (A major) alive, He's
Verse 9
(C major) alive,
He's (G major) (D major) (A major)
(C major) (G major) (D major) (A major)
(C major) alive
He's (G major) (D major) alive
He's Alive
