Viewing Lyrics for Hes Alive:
| | | Artist: | Dolly Parton |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Hes Alive | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 108 | | | | Lyrics: | The gates and doors were barred
And all the windows fastened down
I spent the night in
sleeplessness
And rose at every sound
Half in hope of sorrow
And half in fear the day
Would find the soldiers breakin' through
To drag us all away
And just before the
sunrise
I heard something at the wall
The gate began to rattle
And a voice began to
call
I hurried to the window
Looked down into the street
Expecting swords and torches
And the sound of soldiers' feet
But there was no one there but Mary
So I went
down to let her in
John stood there beside me
As she told me where she'd been
She
said they've moved Him in the night
And none of us know where
The stone's been rolled away
And now His body isn't there
We both ran towards the garden
Then John ran on
ahead
We found the stone and empty tomb
Just the way that Mary said
But the winding
sheet they wrapped Him in
Was just an empty shell
And how or where they'd taken Him
Was more than I could tell
Oh something strange had happened there
Just what I
did not know
John believed a miracle
But I just turned to go
Circumstance and
speculation
Couldn't lift me very high
'Cause I'd seen them crucify Him
Then I saw
Him die
Back inside the house again
The guilt and anguish came
Everything I'd
promised Him
Just added to my shame
When at last it came to choices
I denied I knew
His name
And even if He was alive
It wouldn't be the same
But suddenly the air
was filled
With a strange and sweet perfume
Light that came from everywhere
Drove
shadows from the room
And Jesu | | | |
