Shai Linne - Jesus Is Alive (House of Tea Remix) lyrics

(Chorus 1) Elvis is dead, Pica**o is dead Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin are dead Marilyn Monroe is dead- however… Jesus is Alive Brando is dead, James Brown is dead Princess Di and John Lennon are dead Biggie and Pac are dead- however Jesus is Alive Verse 1 Give praise to King Jesus, the blessed Son Victorious, glorious resurrected One To Him belongs the power, glory and honor Ascended where He sits at the right hand of the Father At the cross He made atonement- His people He saved After three days He was raised in defeat of the grave By faith the elect behold Him, His scepter is golden He must have been hot or slippery because d**h couldn't hold Him The spotlight is on today's icons In a thousand years, nobody will care- their light's gone But at that time, Christ will still shine bright He's not in the limelight- He IS the limelight Criminal minded, you've been blinded Looking for the body of Jesus? You won't find it We never lack spirit, letting you cats hear it Because His tomb is empty like most secular rap lyrics (Chorus 2) Plato is dead, Socrates is dead Aristotle and Immanuel Kant are dead Neitzsche and Darwin are dead- however Jesus is Alive Buddha is dead, Mohammed is dead Ghandi and Haile Sela**ie are dead Elijah Mohammed is dead- however Jesus is Alive Verse 2 Throughout history there's been mad religious leaders Prophets, preachers, scholars, teachers But when it came to the grave, no one could climb out That's where Jesus stands alone like taking a 'timeout' And don't be mislead- I got a level head No resurrection, Christianity would have never spread The disciples weren't stupid guys who would ruin their lives And then choose to die for what they knew was a lie That would be beyond ridiculous- Nah, the issue is The risen Christ seen by 500 eye-witnesses Imagine 500 people in a court of law Each of them taking the stand reporting what they saw If their stories lined up and made sense The evidence would have to leave you convinced But still it's by faith that we trust and praise the Son Who was raised for our justification (Chorus 3) Nero is dead, Constantine is dead Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun are dead Alexander the Great is dead- however Jesus is Alive Napoleon is dead, Lao Tzu is dead Che Guevara and Henry VIII are dead Saddam Hussein is dead- however Jesus is Alive Verse 3 Through faith in Christ, we've been saved from hell Because He's risen, it means we'll be raised as well In glorified bodies fit for the new earth For now, we participate in the new birth The universal reality of the true church With resurrection power, watch the Spirit do work! United with Christ, we reside in His light Abide in His might, keep in stride as we fight The pride in our life, the lies and the spite We strive to be wise as He guides through the night He'll chide and He'll slice- recognize that He's right His brightness inside lights our eyes and it's tight (He) decided to die to wash white all our strife His life was the price to delight in His wife He told d**h "sike" just to rise like a kite All eyes on the Christ- let's prize Him tonight (Chorus 4) Pharaoh is dead, Cyrus is dead Darius and Sennacharib are dead Nebuchadnezzar is dead- however Jesus is Alive Caesar is dead, Herod is dead Annas, Caiaphas and Judas are dead Pontius Pilate is dead- however Jesus is Alive
