[Verse 1]
Am The gates and doors were barred G And all the windows fastened down Am I spent the night in sleeplessness G And rose at every sound Dm Half in hopeless sorrow G And half in fear the day Am Would find the soldiers breaking through G To drag us all away
[Verse 2]
Am And just before the sunrise G I heard something at the wall Am The gate began to rattle G And a voice began to call Am I hurried to the window G Looked down into the street Am Expecting swords and torches Am G And the sound of soldiers' feet
[Verse 3]
Am But there was no one there but Mary G So I went down to let her in Am John stood there beside me G As she told me where she'd been Dm She said they've moved Him in the night Am And none of us knows where Dm The stone's been rolled away Am G And now His body isn't there
[Verse 4]
Am So we both ran towards the garden G Then John ran on ahead Am We found the stone and empty tomb G Just the way that Mary said Am But the winding sheet they wrapped Him in Dm Was just an empty shell Am And how or where they'd taken Him G Am G Was more than I could tell
[Verse 5]
Am Oh something strange had happened there G Just what I did not know Am John believed a miracle G But I just turned to go Dm Circumstance and speculation G Couldn't lift me very high Am G Cause I'd seen them crucify Him Am G Then I saw Him die
[Verse 6]
Am Back inside the house again G The guilt and anguish came Am Everything I'd promised Him G Just added to my shame Am When at last it came to choices Dm Am I denied I knew His name G And even if He was alive Am G It wouldn't be the same
[Verse 7]
Am But suddenly the air was filled Am G With a strange and sweet perfume Am Light that came from everywhere Am G Drove shadows from the room Am And Jesus stood before me Dm Am With His arms held open wide
And I fell down on my knees
G Am And I just clung to Him and cried
[Verse 8]
Am Then He raised me to my feet G And as I looked into His eyes Am The love was shining out from Him G Like sunlight from the skies Am Guilt and my confusion G Disappeared in sweet release Dm G And every fear I ever had A Just melted into peace

[Chorus]
A He's alive C Yes, He's alive G Yes, He's alive and I'm forgiven D Heaven's gates are open wide A He's alive (He's alive) C Yes, He's alive (He's alive) G Oh He's alive and I'm forgiven D Heaven's gates are open wide A He's alive (He's alive) G Hallelujah, He's alive G He's alive and I'm forgiven D Heaven's gates are open wide A He's alive He's alive He's alive C I believe it He's alive
Sweet Jesus
