Travis Cottrell - He's Alive (Cinematic Version) Lyrics

The gates and doors were barred and all the windows fastened down I spent the night in sleeplessness, and rose at ev'ry sound Half in hopeless sorrow, and half in fear the day Would find the soldiers breaking 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, and looked down into the street Expecting swords and torches, and the sound of soldiers' feet

There was no one there but Mary, and so I went down to let her in And John stood there beside me as she told us where she'd been She said 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

We both ran toward the garden, then John ran on ahead We found the stone and the 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

Well something strange had happened there, but 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, and then I saw Him die

Back inside the house again, the guilt and anguish came Ev'rything 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 strange and sweet perfume Light that came from ev'rywhere drove shadows from the room Jesus stood before me, with His arms held open wide And I fell down on my knees, and just clung to Him and cried

He raised me to my feet, and as I looked into His eyes Love was shining out from Him like sunlight from the skies Guilt and my confusion disappeared in sweet release Ev'ry fear I'd ever had just melted into peace

He'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 wide He'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, 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) He's alive
