E7(#9) Ab/C  Fm7  G2/B  Bb
F/A  Gm Fm9  Bb/C Db/Cb


Verse 1:
            Ab2   Bb2   Eb2
More than a baby in a manger
       Eb2/G           Ab    Bb2         Ab2/C
to whom nobles would humbly bow their knee
                      Ab       Bb2   Eb2
Or the young Man who heaven knew as Savior
       Db7/Cb   Ab/Bb
He is alive in me


Verse 2:
Eb2/G           Ab2       Bb2/Ab  Eb2
More than the Man who walked on water,
      Eb2/G              Ab     Bb      Cm7
or the One who caused blinded eyes to see
       Eb2/G   Ab        Bb      Eb2
Greater than all the signs and wonders
       Db7/Cb   Bbsus
He is alive in me


Chorus 1:
Bb      Eb Eb/G         Ab
He lives,      He lives;
            Ab/C      Fm7
He conquered the grave,
              Bbsus  Bb
covered our sin
       Eb  Eb/G        Ab
He lives,       He lives;
                   Fm7
Death could not hold
                 Bbsus  Bb
the promise within
       Absus/Cb
He lives


Verse 3:
                Ab2       Bb    Eb
more than the Man who heard hosanna
            Eb/G Ab             Bb       Ab2/C
from the same     cried, "crucify the King"
      Eb2/G  Ab      Bb2  Eb2
Freely He gave as they demanded
             Db/Cb   Ab/Bb
still He's alive in me


Verse 4:
              Fm2/D  G7(#5#9)  Cm11
more than the man, mankind rejected
                    Fm2/D      G7(#5)      Abmaj7
with nails in His hands and through His feet
                   Ab/C          Bb/C   C/E
but the end told much more then they expected
                Fm7                    Eb2/G
For everyone knows in three days he rose
    Eb/G     Ab   Dbmaj7 Ab/Bb      Bb/C
with power forever to redeem you and me


Chorus 2:
       F
He lives; He lives
                     Gm7
he conquered the grave
              Csus  C  C2  C
covered our sin
       F  F/A         Bb
He lives,      He lives
                   Gm7
Death could not hold
                 Csus
the promise within

Bb/C         F/A        Bb/D
Woh! He lives;  He lives
                     Gm7
He conquered the grave
              Bb/C
covered our sin
       F/C         Bb/C
He lives,   He lives
Am7     Dm7         Gm7

                 Bb/C
the promise within
