The Charlie Daniels Band - He's Not Here lyrics

Judas Iscariot, how did you feel As you watched them take Him away? And you Simon Peter, what did you think When you betrayed Him at the break of day? Did your heart break down inside From the bitter tears you cried? Did you think that all was lost As He hung there on the cross? Did you think He deceived you Or did you believe the things He told you just before He died? Why'd you run and hide? John the beloved, where was your heart As you waited the lonely night through? Were you afraid now that Jesus was gone The Romans were coming for you? Did you cringe in fear and shock When you heard that fateful knock? And the shout rang through the room That He was not in the tomb? As you ran to the grave And you entered the cave And found the stone had been rolled away What did the angels say? He's not here, He is risen He is not among the dead He has sealed Jehovah's covenant He has crushed the serpent's head He has conquered d**h Hell and the grave Now the old debt has been cleared He's not here, He's not here Brothers and sisters where will you be When He makes His triumphant return? He's calling to you, His salvation is free Can't be bought confiscated or earned Though your sins be scarlet red Like the Holy Bible says Come and stand beneath the flow And be washed as white as snow Then join in the chorus Proclaiming the joyous Praises to the King of Kings Lift up your voice and sing He's not here, He is risen He is not among the dead He has sealed Jehovah's covenant He has crushed the serpent's head He has conquered d**h Hell and the grave Now the old debt has been cleared He's not here, He's not here He's not here, He is risen He is not among the dead He has sealed Jehovah's covenant He has crushed the serpents head He has conquered d**h Hell and the grave Now the old debt has been cleared He's not here, He's not here He's not here, He's not here
