[Em]
[D] [Em]
[D] [Em] The gates and doors were barred, [D] all the windows fastened [Em] down.
I spent the night in sleeplessness [D] and rose at every [Em] sound.
[Am] Half in hopeless sorrow [D] and half in fear [Em] of the day,
would find the soldiers breaking through [D] to drag us all [Em] away.
[D]
[Em] And then just before the sunrise, [D] I heard something at the [Em] wall.
And then the gate began to rattle [D] and the voice began to [Em] call.
[Am] And I hurried to the window [D] and I looked down in the [Em] street,
expecting swords and torches [D] and the sound of [Em] soldiers' feet.
[D] There [Em] was no one there but Mary, so I [D] went down to let her [Em] in.
John stood there beside me as [D] she told us where she'd [Em] been.
[Am] She said they moved him in the night and none of us [Em] know where.
The stone's been rolled away and now [D] his body [Em] isn't there.
And we both ran toward the garden [D] and then John ran [Em] on ahead.
We found the stone in the empty tomb [D] just the way that Mary [Em] said.
[Am] But the winding sheet they'd wrapped him in was just an empty [Em] shell.
The howl of where they'd taken him [D] was more than I [Em] could tell.
[D]
[Em] Well, something strange had happened here, [D] but just what I didn't [Em] know.
And John believed a miracle, but [D] I just turned to go.
[Em]
[Am] Circumstances, speculation, [D] couldn't lift me very [Em] high
because I'd seen them crucify him.
[D]
And then I saw [Em] him die.
[D] [Em] Back inside the house again, [D] the guilt and anguish [Em] came.
Everything I'd ever promised him [D] just added to my [Em] shame.
[Am] At last it came to choices.
I denied I knew [Em] his name.
Even if he was alive, [D] it just wouldn't be [Em] the same.
[D] [Em] And then suddenly the air was filled with a strange and sweet perfume.
[E] Light that came from everywhere broke the shadows from the room.
[Am] And Jesus stood before me [D] with his arms held [Em] open wide.
And I fell down on my knees and I [D] just clung to him [Em] and cried.
[D] [Em] He raised me to my feet and [D] as I looked into his [Em] eyes,
love was shining out from him like [D] sunlight [G] from the skies.
[C] Guilt and not confusion [D] disappeared in sweet [Em] relief.
[Bm] [Em] And every fear I'd ever had [D] just melted [E] into peace.
[G]
[D] He's alive, [A] he's alive.
[E] [G]
[D] He's alive, [A] he's alive.
[E]
[G] He's [D] alive and I'm forgiven.
[A] Heaven's gates are open wide.
[E] He's alive, he's [G] alive.
[D] He's alive and I'm forgiven.
[A] Heaven's gates are open wide.
[E] He's alive,
[G] he's alive.
[D] He's alive and I'm forgiven.
[A] Heaven's gates are open wide.
[E] He's
[G] alive, he's alive.
[D] He's alive, [A] he's alive.
[E] He's alive.
