I Have Seen Him / He’s Risen
I arrived there at the gravesite,
Just about the break of day
I was shocked and I was horrified —
The stone was rolled away.
When I looked to see the body,
Through the shadows underground,
The tomb was cold and empty;
My Lord could not be found.
So I ran to the disciples,
John and Peter, all alone
When I told them, they went running back
To make my word their own
And yes, they found it empty,
But not as I had feared;
The graveclothes let them know
He had not just disappeared
And soon my eyes were opened,
When I heard Him speak my name,
And joy lit up my heart,
Like a forest wrapped in flame.
He is your Lord,
He is my Lord,
and I have seen Him;
It is just as
The prophets told us,
And now I know
I didn’t have to touch Him,
I didn’t have to prove;
His eyes were full of comfort,
His voice able to soothe
No one could make me think it wasn’t true,
For I have seen Him, I have seen Him.
He is your Lord, and my Lord, yes, our Lord,
And though we have not seen Him,
Still we believe; we will believe
For the prophets and Moses, they testified
To all that we have seen,
And so we believe;
We choose to believe
To see what is real, though invisible;
We’re learning the nature of trust.
We taste and embrace your experience,
Though it happened not to us, it happened not to us
He’s risen, He’s risen, H a l l e l u j a h,
Emerged from the sea of death
He’s risen, He’s risen, H a l l e l u j a h,
All glory is His from beginning to end
He is your Lord, and my Lord, yes, our Lord,
And though not all have seen Him,
All can believe; we will believe
For the Word and the Spirit, still testify in joyful harmony
With what we believe; oh, how we believe;
We see what is real, though invisible;
We’re learning to open and trust.
The Spirit of God, through the sacred Word,
Is revealing the Truth to us;
We are shaped by the words we trust.
He’s risen, He’s risen, H a l l e l u j a h,
Emerged from the sea of death
He’s risen, He’s risen, H a l l e l u j a h,
All glory is His from beginning to end
He’s risen, He’s risen, H a l l e l u j a h,
Emerged from the sea of death
He’s risen, He’s risen, H a l l e l u j a h,
All glory is His from beginning to end
All glory is His from beginning to end;
All glory is His from beginning to end
