Alive!

Last night at our home group, we were reminded that the reason we celebrate Easter is not only because Jesus died, but more importantly because He rose again! I came across this song today and have been listening to it on repeat {it's the KLove free music download song, you can get it free here :) did I mention it's free?!!}. 

The words of this song are exactly what we were reminded of last night. 

This music video is totally worth the 5 minutes :)

Alive

by Natalie Grant

Who but You

Could breathe and leave a trail of galaxies 
And dream of me?
What kind of Love 
Is writing my story until the end 
With Mercy's pen?
Only You
What kind of king 
Would choose to wear a crown that bleeds and scars 
To win my heart?
What kind of Love 
Tells me I'm the reason He can't stay 
Inside the grave?
You. Is it You? 
Standing here before my eyes
Every part of my heart cries

Alive! Alive! 
Look what Mercy's overcome
Death has lost and Love has won
Alive! Alive! Hallelujah, Risen Lord
The only One I fall before
I am His because He is alive.

Who could speak
And send the demons back from where they came 
With just one Name?
What other heart 
Would let itself be broken every time until He healed mine?
You. Only You 
Could turn my darkness into dawn
Running right into Your armsAlive! Alive! 
Look what Mercy's overcome
Death has lost and Love has won
Alive! Alive! Hallelujah, Risen Lord
The only One I fall before
I am His because He is alive.
Emmanuel, the promised King 
The baby who made angels sing
Son of Man who walked with us
Healing, breathing in our dust
The author of all history
The answer to all mysteries
The Lamb of God who rolled away
The stone in front of every grave

Alive! Alive! Look what Mercy's overcome
Death has lost and Love has won
Alive! I am His because He is alive.
Alive!

{Then the angel spoke to the women. "Don't be afraid!" he said. "I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn't here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there. Remember what I have told you." Matthew 28:5-7}

HE IS ALIVE!
