Album: Once Again
Jesus was a man who was not like any other
He preached about judgment
And a kingdom soon to come
Oh, the people had never heard words like these
He stirred up the scribes and the Pharisees
So, they began to plot against God's one and only Son
They led Him before the courts and the house of Pilate
In a trial they mocked and condemned this righteous man
Pilate listened to the crowd, and he knew they lied
But when he heard the people cry, "Crucify"
He tried but he couldn't wash the blood from his guilty hands
Jesus died on a lonely hill they called Mount Calvary
They laid Him in a tomb and a stone sealed Him inside
Oh, but three days later when the women came
Shocked and excited when they reached His grave
They ran back to town and everybody heard them cry
Good news from Jerusalem
The cross on the hill where the debt was paid
An empty tomb where His body laid
A small upper room where they saw He was glorified
Good news from Jerusalem
He's alive, He's alive, He's alive
Good news from Jerusalem
He's alive, He's alive, He's alive
Two thousand years have passed since He ascended
Oh, the wars rage on in a world so lost in sin
Troubles and trials on every hand
The peace is coming to the promised land
When the King comes back
We'll shout it again and again
Good news from Jerusalem
A sign in the sky every eye can see
A crown that will last for eternity
A throne for a King
Who had long been prophesied
Good news from Jerusalem
He's alive, He's alive, He's alive
Good news, good news, He's alive
A sign in the sky every eye can see
A crown that will last for eternity
A throne for a King
Who had long been prophesied
Good news from Jerusalem
Good news from Jerusalem
Good news from Jerusalem
He's alive, He's alive, He's alive
Good news, good news, He's alive
Good news, good news, He's alive
He's alive!
