[Am]
[C] [Am]
The gates and doors were barred, and [G] all the windows [Am] smashing down.
I'd spent the night in [G] sleeplessness, and rose at [Am] every sound.
[Dm] Half in hopeless sorrow, [G] half in [Am] fear the dead,
Would find the soldiers breaking through [G] to drag us [Am] all along.
[C] And just before the sunrise, [G] I heard something at [Am] the wall.
The gate began to rattle, [G] and a voice began [Am] to call.
[Dm] I hurried to the window, [G] looked down into [Am] the street,
Expecting swords and torches, [G] and the sound of soldiers' feet.
[Am]
[G] [Am] There was no one there but Mary, so [G] I went down to let [Am] her in.
John stood there beside me, [G] as she told us where [Am] she'd been.
[Dm] She said they moved him in the night, and none of us [Am] knows where.
The stone's been rolled away, and [G] now his body [Am] isn't there.
[Em]
[Am] We both ran for the garden, [G] then John ran [Am] on ahead.
We found the stone and the empty tomb, [G] just the way that [Am] Mary said.
[Dm] But the winding sheet they wrapped him in was just an empty [Am]
shell.
And how aware they'd taken him [G] was more than [Am] I could tell.
Well, something strange had happened there, [D] just what I [B] did not know.
[G] John believed a miracle, but I just turned [Am] to go.
[Dm] Circumstance and [F] speculation [G] couldn't lift me [Am] very high.
Cause I'd seen them crucify him, [G] and then I saw [Am] him.
[D]
[Am] Back inside the house again, [G] the guilt and [Am] anguish came.
See, everything I promised him [G] just added to [Am] my shame.
[Dm] When at last it came to choices, I denied I [Am] knew his name.
And even if he was alive, [G] it wouldn't be [Am] the same.
[Bbm] But suddenly the air was filled with a strange and sweet fulfillment.
Light that came from everywhere, drove shadows from [Db] the room.
[Ebm] And Jesus stood before me with his [Ab] arms held [Bbm] open wide.
And I fell down on my knees, [Ab] [Bbm] just clung to him and cried.
He raised me to my feet, and as [Ab] I looked into [Bbm] his eyes, love was shining out from him.
[Ab] Like [Db] sunlight from the [Gb] skies, and guilt and my confusion [Ab] disappeared in sweet [Bbm] release.
Oh, and every fear I'd ever had [Ab] just melted into [Bb]
peace.
He's alive, [Db] he's alive, he's [Ab] alive and I'm forgiven.
