All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all!
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race, ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by his grace, and crown Him Lord of all;
Hail Him who saves you by his grace, and crown Him Lord of all.
Let ev’ry tongue and ev’ry tribe responsive to His call
To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him Lord of all;
To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him Lord of all!
O that with yonder sacred throng we at his feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song, and crown Him Lord of all.
We’ll join the everlasting song, and crown Him Lord of all.
I serve a risen Savior He’s in the world today
I know that He is living whatever men may say
I see His hand of mercy I hear His voice of cheer
And just the time I need Him He’s always near
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives, He lives within my heart
In all the world around me I see His loving care
And though my heart grows weary I never will despair
I know that He is leading through all the stormy blast
The day of His appearing will come at last
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives, He lives within my heart
Rejoice, rejoice, oh Christian lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs to Jesus Christ the King
The hope of all who seek Him, the help of all who find,
None other is so loving, so good and kind
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives, He lives within my heart
The gates and doors were barred all the windows fastened down
I spent the night in sleeplessness and rose at every sound
Half in hopeless sorrow and half in fear the day
Would find the soldiers breakin’ through too 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 soldier’s feet
There was no one there but Mary so I went down to let her in
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 stones 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 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
Even if He was alive it wouldn’t be the same
Suddenly the air was filled with strange and sweet perfume
Light that came from everywhere 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 in my confusion disappeared in sweet release
And every 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
Alleluia Alleluia 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
