He`s Alive
Don Francisco

Intro Am7Am7 Am6Am6 Am7Am7 Am6Am6


  A minorAm
The gates and doors were barred
      G+G        A minorAm
and all the windows fastened down

I spent the night in sleeplessness
  G6G6      A minorAm
and rose at every sound
DmDm
Half in hopeless sorrow
  G6G6        A minorAm
and half in fear the day

Would find the soldiers breaking through
  G+G      A minorAm  G+G
to drag us all away

  A minorAm
And just before the sunrise
    G+G        A minorAm
I heard something at the wall

The gate began to rattle
   G+G       A minorAm
and a voice began to call
 DmDm
I hurried to the window
      G6G6     A minorAm
and looked down to the street

Expecting swords and torches
    G+G      G7G7  A minorAm G6G6
and the sound of soldiers feet


     A minorAm
There was no one there but Mary
   G6G6          A minorAm
so I went down to let her in

John stood there beside me
    G+G          A minorAm
as she told us were she`d been
  DmDm
She said they moved him in the night
           A minorAm
and none of us knows where

The stones been rolled away
      G+G     A minorAm
and now his body isn`t there

We both ran toward the garden
   G+G      A minorAm
then John ran on ahead

We found the stone and empty tomb
     G+G       A minorAm
just the way that Mary said
    DmDm
But the winding sheet they wrapped him in
         A minorAm
was just an empty shell

And how or where they`d taken him
  G+G         A minorAm  G+G
was more than I could tell


   A minorAm
Well something strange had happened there
   G+G       A minorAm
Just what I did not know

John believed a miracle
  G+G        A minorAm
but I just turned to go
    DmDm
Circumstance and speculation
     G+G      A minorAm
couldn`t lift me very high
                 G+G
Cause I`d seen them crucify him
  G7G7        A minorAm  G6G6
and then I`d saw him die


A minorAm
Back inside the house again
    G+G         A minorAm
all the guilt and anguish came

Everything I`d promised him
   G+G      A minorAm
just added to my shame
    DmDm
when at last it came to choices
          A minorAm
I denied I knew his name
           G+G
Even If he was alive
          A minorAm  G6G6
it wouldn`t be the same


A minorAm
suddenly the air was filled
                 G+G
with a strange and sweet perfume
A minorAm
Light that came from everywhere

drove shadows from the room
DmDm
Jesus stood before me
     G+G       A minorAm
with his arms held open wide

And I fell down on my knees
     G+G        A minorAm   G6G6
and just clung to him and cried


  A minorAm
He raised me to my feet
     G6G6       A minorAm
and as I looked into his eyes

Love was shining out from him
   G6G6        C majorC
like sunlight from the skies
FF
Guilt and my confusion
   G+G         A minorAm
disappeared in sweet release

And every fear I`d ever had
   G6G6      A augmentedA
just melted into peace


C majorC G+G D MajorD


   A augmentedA
He`s alive
   C majorC
He`s alive
   G+G
He`s alive and I`m forgiven
    D MajorD
Heavens gates are open wide
   A augmentedA
He`s alive
   C majorC
He`s alive
   G+G
He`s alive and I`m forgiven
    D MajorD
Heavens gates are open wide
   A augmentedA
He`s alive
   C majorC
He`s alive
   G+G
He`s alive and I`m forgiven
    D MajorD
Heavens gates are open wide
   A augmentedA
He`s alive
   C majorC
He`s alive
   G+G   D MajorD  A augmentedA
He`s alive....
