He's Not Here Lyrics

Judas Iscariot how did you feel as you watched them take him away
And you Simon Peter what did you think when you betrayed him at the break of day
Did your heart break down inside from the bitter tears you cried
Did you think that all was lost as he hung there on the cross
Did you think he'd deceived you or did you believe
The things he told you just before he died why'd you run and hideJohn the beloved where was your heart as you waited the lonely night through
Were you afraid now that Jesus was gone the Romans were coming for you
Did you cringe in fear and shock when you heard that fateful knock
And the shout rang through the room that he was not in the tomb
As you ran to the grave and entered the cave
And found the stone had been rolled away what did the angel say(He's not here he is risen he is not among the dead
He has sealed Jehovah's covenant he has crushed the serpents head
He has conquered death hell and the grave now the old debt has been cleared
He's not here he's not here)
[ guitar ]
Brothers and sisters where will you be when he makes his triumphant return
He's calling to you his salvation is free can't be bought confiscated or earned
Though your sins be scarlet red like the Holy Bible says

Come and stand beneath the flow and be washed as white as snow
Then join in the chorus proclaiming the joyous
Praises to the King of Kings lift up your voice and sing(He's not here he is risen...
