From the time I spoke Your name

From the time I spoke Your name

Lord

my life’s not been the same

Since I called on the only One who’d save me.

When forsaken

in despair—

Who’d have thought that You’d be there!

Now I’ve found out

Jesus

You’re alive!

Now my eyes begin to see

I’m living as I ought to be

As this turning

burning God

moves in my heart...

I don’t care now how I feel;

I just know that this is real

And I know

oh Jesus

You’re alive!

All my friends might think it’s square—

Since I touched You

I don’t care—

For I’ve found You’re the only life worth living.

Though some mock and criticize

Lord

they just don’t realize

That I’ve found out

Jesus

You’re alive!

It’s no statue that I call

Not a picture on the wall

But a person who lives His life within me.

Wish they’d told me long before

All You want’s an open door

And that really

Jesus

You’re alive!
