For a lot of non-Christians Jesus was a holy man. For Christians, Jesus is the Son of God - human and divine - who suffered, died and rose from the dead. For Catholics, the Easter season, celebrating Jesus' Resurrection lasts for 7 weeks. This joyful song captures the Gospel accounts of the first hours after the discovery of the Resurrection. We've used it as Gathering Song in the Easter season.

Verse: Where have they taken his body, his body, oh where? Have they taken him? Where, have they taken him? Refrain for 1st verse: He is not dead, he’s alive with us, The tomb is empty, he’s alive with us, The holes in his hands and his side are there to see! [Bridge] "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me so I am sending you." Second verse: Jesus is risen! Jesus is risen today. He is risen! He is risen from the dead! Refrain: Alleluia! He’s alive with us. The King is here, he’s alive with us, Alleluia! He’s alive with us, today. Third verse: Our hearts are burning, his presence at table revealed, The Glory of our God, revealed, the Glory of our God.
