I
ONCE I WENT WALKING DOWN A LONG LONELY ROAD
I THOUGHT I HAD NO ONE WHO WOULD SHARE MY HEAVY LOAD
THEN MY MIND WENT SOARING BACK TO A PLACE I'D NEVER BEEN.
AND I REALIZED I WAS STANDING AT THE FOOT OF MY KING.
II
THERE WERE THREE LONELY CROSSES ON A HILLSIDE THAT DAY
AND AS I LOOKED AT MY SAVIOR.
I CRIED LORD, TAKE ME AWAY.
THERE WAS BLOOD FLOWING DOWN AS THORNS PIERCED HIS HEAD.
HE CRIED FATHER FORGIVE AND THEN MY SAVIOR WAS DEAD.
III
WELL, I STOOD THERE IN SILENCE
THINKING LORD HOW CAN THIS BE THAT YOUR BELOVED SON,
GAVE HIS LIFE JUST FOR ME, THEN I HEARD A SWEET VOICE
WHISPER CHILD LIFT UP YOUR HEAD.
FOR THE ONE THAT YOU SEE HANGING THERE WELL HE IS NOT DEAD.
IV
HE'S ALIVE HE'S ALIVE
NO DEATH COULD NOT HOLD HIM.
HE'S ALIVE HE'S ALIVE
OH THE STONE WAS ROLLED AWAY.
SATAN THOUGHT HE WON THE BATTLE
WHEN HE DIED ON THAT TREE.
OH BUT JESUS CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE
AND HE WON THE VICTORY.
YES JESUS CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE AND HE WON THE VICTORY.
