Chords for He's Alive (Lyric Video/Live At The Billy Graham Library, Charlotte, NC/2011)

[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ The gates and doors were barred [B] and all the windows [Am] fastened down
They spent the night in sleeplessness [D] and rose at every [Am] sound
[Dm] having hopeless sorrow
_ [G] Having fear the [Am] day would find the soldiers breaking through [G] to drag [Am] us all away _
Then _ _ just before the sunrise I heard something at the wall
The gate began to rattle and a voice began to call
[Dm] I hurried to the window.
I [A] looked down into [Am] the street
_ Expecting swords [G] and torches and the sound [A] of soldiers feet
[Am] But _ _ _ there was no one there at Mary
So [G] I went down to let her [Am] in and John stood there beside me as [G] she told us where [Am] she'd been
[Dm] She said they've moved him in the night and none [Am] of us knows where oh
The stones been rolled away and [G] now his body [Am] isn't there
[Bm] So we both ran to the garden
[A] Then John ran on [Bm] ahead and we found the stone an empty tomb [A] just the way that Mary [Bm] said
[Em] But the winding sheet they'd wrapped him in was just an [Bm] empty shell
And how aware they'd taken
[A] It was more than [Bm] I could tell oh _ _ _
Something strange had happened there [A] just what I did [Bm] not know
John believed a miracle, [A] but I just [Bm] turned to go
[Em] Circumstance and speculation
Couldn't lift me very [Bm] high
Because I'd seen them crucify [A] him _ _
[Bm] Then I saw him die _ _ _ _
_ Back inside the house again the guilt and anguish came
_ Everything I promised him just added to my shame [Em] when it lasted came to choices.
I did not
[Bm] knew his name
_ So even if he was alive
[D] _
Never [Bm] be the same _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] Then suddenly the air was filled [Bb] with a strange and [Cm] sweet perfume
[Bb] _ [C] Life that came from everywhere
[Bb] drove shadows from [Cm] the room
[Fm] Then Jesus stood before me with his [Cm] arms
head up and wide
And I fell down on my knees
[Bb] And I just clung [Cm] to him
_ And cried _ [Bb] oh, [Cm] but then he raised me to my feet and as I looked into his eyes
_ Love was shining out from him like sunlight from the [Fm] skies
Guilt and my confusion
disappeared in sweet [Cm] release
Oh and every fear I'd ever had
_ [Bb] Just melted [C] into peace
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
