Lyrics

i am alive
lyrics and music by beverly graham

rise above the burning fire
on a cloud of glory
the people gather round you lord
they're waiting to hear your story
and the last time that I saw you Lord
you were cold and bleeding
and the mask of death
lay thick upon your face
ah, but there you stand before me lord and you touched me in my needing
and I wonder at your goodness and grace
and you said don't you go looking for me in the tomb of darkened death
i am not there I child
I am alive

Ah Lord you know that I'm human
and I'm weak sometimes it's hard for me to believe
I've seen the glory of creation
but sometimes Lord it's you I do not see
and you said don't you go looking for me in the tomb of darkened death
I am not there child, no I am not there
I am around you and within yhou
I will conquer the sin that is in you
I am hear child
I am alive

I am the son of God I've risen from the dead
Released you from the prison of the dead
I am alive

Ah Jesus I know that you've touched me and I'm burning with a fire I cannot explain
I felt the joy of your loving Lord
But you know that I have also felt your pain
And the last time that I saw you Lord
I could not follow
you were walking down
the path of the lonely dead
Ah but there you stand
before me with a freedom
that is born on the wings of a swallow
and I'd like to give my life to you instead
and you said don't you go looking for ,me in the tomb if darkened death
I am here child
I am alive

I am the son of God
I've risen from the dead
Released you from the prison of the dead
i am alive
