[Verse 1] I woke to rain on the tin roof And a Bible on my chair Mama's hands were folded Like she left a prayer in there The house felt thin and hollow Till I heard that old church tune [Pre-Chorus] Then a line came up inside me Like the morning breaking through If the grave could not keep Him It can't keep my heart too [Chorus] He lives, He lives He's still rolling stones away He lives, He lives And He'll carry me today When the road goes hard and empty I won't bend, I won't quit He lives, He lives And I can face it Because He lives [Verse 2] My hands are cracked from working My boots are caked with red But I saw mercy at the table When the supper bowed its head I seen doors swing open easy I seen shame turn and flee [Pre-Chorus] So I lift my face to heaven Where the broken still get free If He rose on that third morning Then He can make me sing [Chorus] He lives, He lives He's still rolling stones away He lives, He lives And He'll carry me today When the road goes hard and empty I won't bend, I won't quit He lives, He lives And I can face it Because He lives [Bridge] Down by the riverbed I laid my fear in the mud I heard that sweet old promise Move like fire through my blood Death had one good morning But it never took the King [Chorus] He lives, He lives He's still rolling stones away He lives, He lives And He'll carry me today When the road goes hard and empty I won't bend, I won't quit He lives, He lives And I can face it Because He lives
