Dolly Parton He's Alive 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
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 looked down
into the street Expecting swords and torches and
the sound of soldier's 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 never 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 went 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 Jesus stood before
me with his arms held open wide And I fell down on
my knees and I just clung to him and cried

Then he raised me to my feet and as I looked into
his eyes The 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 yes he's alive yes he's alive And I'm
forgiven heaven's gates are open wide He's alive
yes he's alive yes he's alive And I'm forgiven
heaven's gates are open wide He's alive he's alive
hallelujah he's alive I believe it he's alive
sweet Jesus
