He's alive!

the world will hear it

Jesus risen from the dead

let the heralds far and near it

"see where your Lord lay"

the angels did say

"He is not here

so have no more fear"

Jesus is alive.

He's alive!

natures course defeating

Jesus risen from the dead

Satan's wrath and malice cheating

glad tidings go tell

your sorrow dispel

death's sting is gone

the Victor has won

Jesus is alive.

He's alive!

The battle's over

since He rose up from the grave

earth's four corners will discover

God's promise is real

and this is the seal

pardon is sure

and life ever more

Jesus is alive.

Hallelujah! Jesus is alive.

And when they shall see Him

will they see beauty there?

why do they stand and stare?

why do they stare?

When they look upon Him

there is no majesty

justice in travesty

what do they see?

Bruised, beaten and broken

a man nailed to a tree

what have they come to see?

what do they see?

But when I look upon Him

I see such beauty there

passion majestic, rare

I have to stare

Yea look ye unto Him

all the ends of the earth

this is God's salvation

this is your worth.

For you and me

for you and me

What do you see?

what do you see?

They shall look upon Him whom they have pierced.

My Dove is stood beyond our wall

and will I keep Him there?

Bids me Him? join Him where He is?

His shame and loneliness to share.

I was asleep with heart awaked,

my Dove was at the door.

He wooed with tender words of love

and I could make Him wait no more.

My Dove put His hand 'pon the latch,

my heart thrilled with delight.

I rose to open up to Him

but He was gone, into the night.

Sustain me with raisins

refresh me with apples

for I am sick with love.

My heart had failed me when He spoke.

I sought but found Him not.

I called out to Him in my sorrow,

My Lord, My Dove forsake me not.

Oh where is my Beloved gone

and my Dove, where is He turned.

City girls talk much about love,

there's a love which cannot be learned.

There is my Beloved, my Dove

He's pasturing His sheep.

See Him gathering the lilies.

I knew my heart's pledge He would keep.

Lord, You were beautiful,

beautiful to behold,

put to shame Lord

and in weakness

God's love unfold.

There stood where I should have stood,

in Your love You took my place.

You were bearing in Your person

all of my disgrace.

(bridge)

No not in majesty,

comeliness to behold,

but in pain Lord

and in sorrow,

God's love unfold.

There stood, a felon in bonds

so that I might go free

oh I love You Lord Jesus

on yonder tree.

Yes, You are beautiful,

beautiful to behold,

not in power

but in meekness

God's love unfold.

So very beautiful

God's love behold.
