1. Resurrection

2. 12 Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. 15 Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. 1 Corinthians 15:12-19

6. 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 breaking' through To drag us all away And just before the sunrise 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

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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 and I'm forgiven Heaven's gates are open wide
