Letra de He's Alive
The gates and doors were barred And all the windows fastened down I spent the night in sleeplessness And jumped at every soundHalf in hope of sorrow And half in fear the day Would find the soldiers breakin' through To drag us all awayJust before the sunrise I heard somethin' at the wall The gate began to rattle And a voice began to callI hurried to the window Looked down into the street Expecting swords and torches And the sound of soldiers' feetBut there was no one there but Mary So i went down to let her in And John stood there beside me As she told us where, she'd been"They've moved Him in the night And none of us knows where The Stone's been rolled away And now his body isn't there" (The Stone's been rolled away And now his body isn't there)We both ran toward the garden Then John ran on ahead We found the stone and empty tomb Just the way that Mary saidBut the windin' sheet they wrapped him in Was just an empty shell And how or where, they'd taken him Was more than i could tellOh, somethin' strange had happened there Just what, i did not know John believed a miracle But i just turned to goCircumstance and speculation Couldn't lift me very high I had seen them crucify Him And i saw Him dieBack inside the house again The guilt and anguish came Everything, i had promised him Just added to my shameWhen at last it came to choice I denied, I knew his name And even if he were alive I know it wouldn't be the sameSuddenly the air was filled With strange, sweet perfume Light that came from everywhere Drove shadows from the roomAnd Jesus stood before me With His arms held open wide I fell down on my knees And i clung to him and criedHe raised me to my feet And as i looked into his eyes Love was shining out from Him Like sunlight from the skiesGuilt in my confusion Disappeared in sweet release And every fear i'd ever had Just melted into peaceHe's alive, he's alive He's alive and i'm forgiven Heaven's gates are open wide He's alive, he's alive He's alive and i'm forgiven Heaven's gates are open wideHe's alive, he's alive He's alive and I'm forgiven Heaven's gates are open wide He's alive, he's alive, he's alive, he's alive
