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 AND LOOKED DOWN INTO THE STREET
EXPECTING SWORDS AND TORCHES AND THE SOUND OF SOLDIERS 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
WHERETHE STONE'S BEEN ROLLED AWAY AND NOW HIS BODY ISN'T THERE
WE BOTH RAN T'WARD THE GARDEN AND 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
SOMETHING STRANGE HAD HAPPENED THERE JUST WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW
JOHN BELIEVED A MIRACLE BUT I JUST TURNED TO GO
CIRCUMSTANCE AND SPECULATION DIDN'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
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
SUDDENLY THE AIR WAS FILLED WITH A 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 I JUST CLUNG TO HIM AND CRIED
HE RAISED ME TO MY FEET AND AS I LOOKED INTO HIS EYES
LOVE WAS SHINING OUT FROM THEM LIKE SUNLIGHT FROM THE SKIES
GUILT AND MY CONFUSION DISAPPEARED IN SWEET RELEASE
AND EVERY FEAR I'D EVERY HAD JUST MELTED INTO PEACE
HE'S ALIVE, HE'S ALIVE, HE'S ALIVE AND I'M FORGIVEN
HEAVEN'S GATES ARE OPENED WIDE(REPEAT CHORUS TWO MORE TIMES)
HE'S ALIVE, HE'S ALIVE, HE'S ALIVE . . . HE'S ALIVE

Ms Gomez,
I have just noticed that you've been over to http://manilabaywatch.blogspot.com
Thank you for dropping by.
It may not mean anything to you but I've met your son, been a visitor in your home and have at one time discussed business with him while his father was still VP.
We also happen to share a fondness for dogs.
Dear Adb,
I think that dogs are one of those creatures made simply to love us unconditionally. I share the same love for dogs too, in fact, we have so many of them and they bring me joy :)
hi! i love your music and if it's true that you will be mayor i will vote for you because i like your music. i love don francisco but he is not as appreciated as doem moen. me and my friends from the greenhills christian fellowship are always here to see your music videos. we love this, also "we are the reason" and also "mary did yoiu know". we know that you will be a good leader because your music is always very very inspired.
we love mayor jv because he hs been always good with our fellowship so we cant make any mistake since you as a mother also is an inspired leader sent by the lord.
I am glad you like my music. I agree, it does inspire and keep us in track. Thank you for your very kind comments about my son JV. I am sure he will always have to do his best to serve because as he would always say : "by serving the people well, he is also serving the Lord."
hi we are here nanaman po. listening. thank you for replying. we were looking at the new song and my bible study leader said that from this site anyone can disern that you love jesus so much. tonight po, we were always at the new "imagine me without you". it is comforting.
mayor jv is the best and now we know kaya pala he's liek that kabait because he has a mother who loves jesus.
This is my favorite Easter song but when I feel down, I listen to Don Francisco.I am a lurker for these songs. I also need to get in track Madam and that is why I lurk for music here. Thank you po.
