[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C][G]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
The [Am]gates and doors were barred
and all the [G]windows fastened [Am]down,
I spent the night in sleeplessness
and [G]rose at every [Am]sound,
[Dm]Half in hopeless sorrow
[G]half in fear [A]the day,
Would [Am]find the soldiers crashing
through to [G]drag us all [Am]away.[G]
[Am]Then just before the sunrise
[G]I heard something at the [Am]wall,
The gate began to rattle and
a [G]voice began [Am]to call,
[Dm]I hurried to the window and looked
[G]down [Am]to the street,
Expecting swords and [G]torches and the
sound of soldiers [Am]feet,

[Verse 2]
[G]
There was [Am]no one there but Mary
so I [G]went down to let her [Am]in,
John stood there beside me as
[G]she told us were she'd [Am]been,
She [Dm]said they moved him in the night
and none of us knows [Am]where,
The stones been rolled away and
now his [G]body isn't [Am]there.
[Dm]We b[Am]oth ran toward the garden
then [G]John ran on [Am]ahead,
[A]We found [Am]the stone and the empty tomb
just the [G]way that Mary [Am]said,
But the [Dm]winding sheet they wrapped
him in was just an empty shell,
[Am]And how or where they'd taken him
was [G]more than I [Am]could tell.

[Verse 3]
[G]
[Am]Something strange had happened
there but [G]what I did not [A]know,
[Am]John believed a miracle but
[G]I just turned t[Am]o go,
Circum[Dm]stance and speculation
couldn't [G]lift me very [Am]high,
Cause I'd seen them crucify him and
[G]then I'd watched him die[Am],[G]
[Am]Back inside the house again all the
[G]guilt and anguish [Am]came,
Everything I'd promised him
just [G]added to my [Am]shame,
But at [Dm]last it came to choices
I denied I knew [Am]his name,
Even If he was alive [G]it
wouldn't be [Am]the same.

[Verse 4]
[Am]But [G]sudd[Am]enly the air was filled
with a strange and sweet [G]perfume,
[Am]Light that came from everywhere
drove shadows from the room,
[Dm]Jesus stood before me with his
[G]arms held open wide,
[Am]And I fell down on my knees and
[G]clung to him and [Am]cried,[G]
He [Am]raised me to my feet and as I
[G]looked into his eye[Am]s,
Love was shining out from him
like [G]sunlight from [C]the sky,
[F]Guilt and my confusion disap[G]peared
in sweet re[Am]lease,
And every fear I'd ever had just
[G]melted into peace.

[Interlude 1]
[A][C]
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
He's [A]alive, He's [C]alive,
He's [G]alive and I'm forgiven,
Heavens [D]gates are open wide.
He's [A]alive, He's [C]alive,
He's [G]alive and I'm forgiven,
Heavens [D]gates are open wide.
He's [A]alive, He's [C]alive,
He's [G]alive and I'm forgiven,
Heavens [D]gates are open wide.

[Verse 6]
[A]He's [C]alive!
[G][D]
