Verse 1
Am 
The gates and doors were barred,
G 
Am 
and all the windows fastened down.
I spent the night in sleeplessness
G 
Am 
Dm 
in rows that ever sound.
Half in hopeless sorrow,
G 
half in fear the day
Am 
Would find the soldiers breaking through
G 
Am 
to drag us all away.
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,
Am 
looked down into the street,
expecting swords and torches
G 
Am 
and the sound of soldiers' feet.
There was no one there but Mary,
G 
Am 
so I went down to let her in.
And John stood there beside me,
G 
Am 
as she told us where she'd been.
Dm 
She said they've moved
him in the night,
Am 
and none of us know where.
The stone's been rolled away,
G 
Am 
and now his body isn't there.
We both ran for the garden
G 
and John ran on ahead
Am 
We  found the stone and the empty turn
G 
just the way that Mary said
Am 
Dm 
The winding sheet that wrapped him in
was just an empty shell
Am 
Oh, but how aware the taken him
G 
Am 
G 
was more than I could tell
Am 
Well, something strange had happened,
G 
Am 
and just what, I didn't know.
John believed a miracle,
G 
Am 
but I just turned to go.
Dm 
Circumstance and speculation
Am 
didn't lift me very high.
Cause I'd seen them crucify him,
G 
Am 
G 
and then I watched him die.
Am 
Back inside the house again,
G 
Am 
all the guilt and anguish came
And everything that I'd promised him
G 
just added to my shame
Am 
Dm 
When at last it came to choices,
Am 
I denied I knew his name
And even if he was alive,
G 
Am 
it wouldn't be the same
G 
Am 
But suddenly the room was filled
with a strange sweet perfume.
The light that came from everywhere
Dm 
drove shadows from the room.
And Jesus stood before me
with his arms held open wide.
Am 
I fell down on my knees,
G 
Am 
and I clung to him and cried.
Bbm 
He raised me to my feet again,
G# 
Bbm 
and as I looked into his eyes,
Love was shining out from him
Ab 
Db 
like sun light from the skies.
Gb 
Guilt and my confusion
Ab 
disappeared in sweet release,
Bbm 
And every fear I'd ever had
Ab 
Bb 
Db 
Ab 
Eb 
just melted into  peace.
Bb 
He's alive!
Db 
Ab 
Eb 
He's alive!
Bb 
He's alive!
Db 
He's alive!
Ab 
Eb 
He's alive! He's
Bb

He's alive!
Ab 
He's alive!
He's
Eb 
He's alive!
Bb 
He's alive! alive! alive! alive
Ab 
He's alive!
Eb 
He's alive!
Bb 
He's alive!
