Chords for He's Alive - Grace Symphony

[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ The gates and doors were barred and all [F] the windows fastened [G] down
I spent the night in sleeplessness [F] and rose at every [Gm] sound
[Cm] I happened to hope of sorrow [F] and happened to [Gm] feel the day
When I found the soldiers breaking through [F] to drag us all [Gm] away _ _
Then _ [G] just before the sunrise I [F] heard something at [G] the wall
The gates began to rattle [Dm] and a voice began [G] to call
[Cm] I hurried to the window, [F] looked down into [Gm] the streets
Expecting swords and torches _
[F] and the sound of the [Gm] soldiers' feet
There _ [F] _ [G] was no one there but Mary so [F] I went out to let [G] her [Gm] in
Jo stood there beside me and [F] she told me where [Gm] she'd be
[Cm] She said they moved in midnight _ [Gm] _ and told me wrong _ _
[F] _ _ [Gm] _ _ So we both went to look together [F] and Jo ran [Gm] on ahead
With palm stones and empty tin [F] rolls away
[Gm] The _ [Cm] worries and the worries they wrapped in me was just an [Gm] illusion
And how they'd taken him [F] was more than I [Gm] could do _ _ _
_ _ Oh, something strange had happened there, [F] just what I did [Gm] not know
_ John believed a miracle [F] but I just [Gm] turned to go
_ [Cm] Circumstances, speculations [F] could lift me very [Gm] high
_ _ Cause I've seen them crucify him, [F] _ then I saw [Gm] him die
_ _ _ _ _ Back inside the house again, [F] guilt and [Gm] anguish came _ _
Everything I promised him [F] just added to [Gm] my shame
[Cm] When at last it came to joy since I did not know [Gm] his _ name
[G] Heaven and earth, he was still [F] alive, it wouldn't be [G] the [Gm] same
_ But _
[F] _ _ [Gm] suddenly the air was filled with strange and sweet perfume
[F] [G] Like it came from everywhere, drove shadows from [F] the road
[Cm] And he stood there beside me with [F] his arms all [Gm] open [F] wide
[Gm] [F] Yet [Gm] I bowed down on my knees and I [F] just won't forget
[Gm] Then _ _ _ _
[F] _ [G] he raised me to my feet [F] and as I looked into [Gm] his eyes
_ Love was shining out from him [F] like a night [Bb] from sky
[Eb] Guilt and my confusion [F] disappeared into [Gm] his lips
Because everything I ever had [F] just melted [G] into him _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] He's _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ alive, [F] he's alive, _ [C] heaven's gates are open wide
[G] _ He's alive, _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] he's alive, forgiven, [C] heaven's gates are open wide
[G] _ He's alive, [Bb] _ he's alive, [F] he's alive and I'm forgiven _
[C] Heaven's gates are open wide
[G] He's alive, he's alive, [Bb] _ he's alive, [F] he's alive _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] I'm alive _ _
