Alive

Just when my defeat looked certain
Underneath a burden
Sunk down jail-bound
Surrounded on all sides
High and dry at low tide
Ambushed at the roadside
Tongue-tied, cried out
I thought

I had nothing
Nothing without You

You came to my rescue and I’m alive, alive, alive
You came to my rescue now I’m alive, alive, alive

Buried
Mustard seed in darkness
Too far down for harvest
Years to reach the surface
Breakthrough into sunlight
Straight and tall and upright
First among the forest
More than what was promised, promised

I had nothing
No Nothing without You

You came to my rescue I’m alive, alive, alive
You came to my rescue now I’m alive, alive, alive

Once I was dead, now I’m alive alive, alive
You came to my rescue, I’m alive alive, alive
(Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive)
(Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive, alive)
