He Lived to Tell It
by The Williamsons

Album: Tell Somebody

The Lord was questioned by the Pharisees
As always they were seeking a sign
But Jesus rebuked them for their evil deeds
And then He began to prophecy
He talked about ol' Jonah in the belly of the whale
Three days and nights he stayed there
But Jonah lived to tell
His story brought a nation to its' knees
We'd all do well to heed the prophecy

Just because you nearly drowned in the dark stormy water
Because you crawled through a desert so dry
Don't you ever think that your Heavenly Father
Can't bring you safely to the other side
Jesus told all the people when this temple is destroyed
I will raise it up and rebuild it
And it wasn't very long that they saw it was true
Jesus died and was buried and He lived to tell it

One day Thomas saw the Lord and heard Him say:
I know you can't believe I'm alive
I walked out of the tomb on resurrection day
Touch my scars, out your fingers in my side
Jesus went through the valley of the shadow of death
One day I'm gonna go through that valley myself
I might need a tomb but I hope they can sell it
Cause I'll be dead, I'll be buried, and I'll live to tell it

Just because you nearly drowned in the dark stormy water
Because you crawled through a desert so dry
Don't you ever think that your Heavenly Father
Can't bring you safely to the other side
Jesus told all the people when this temple is destroyed
I will raise it up and rebuild it
And it wasn't very long that they saw it was true
Jesus died and was buried and He lived to tell it
My Jesus died He was buried and He lived to tell it
He lived to tell it
