He's Not Here Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

Judas Iscariot how did you feel as you watched them take him away 

And you Simon Peter what did you think when you betrayed him at the break of day 

Did your heart break down inside from the bitter tears you cried 

Did you think that all was lost as he hung there on the cross 

Did you think he'd deceived you or did you believe 

The things he told you just before he died why'd you run and hide 

John the beloved where was your heart as you waited the lonely night through 

Were you afraid now that Jesus was gone the Romans were coming for you 

Did you cringe in fear and shock when you heard that fateful knock 

And the shout rang through the room that he was not in the tomb 

As you ran to the grave and entered the cave 

And found the stone had been rolled away what did the angel say 

(He's not here he is risen he is not among the dead 

He has sealed Jehovah's covenant he has crushed the serpents head 

He has conquered death hell and the grave now the old debt has been cleared 

He's not here he's not here) 

[ guitar ] 

Brothers and sisters where will you be when he makes his triumphant return 

He's calling to you his salvation is free can't be bought confiscated or earned 

Though your sins be scarlet red like the Holy Bible says 

Come and stand beneath the flow and be washed as white as snow 

Then join in the chorus proclaiming the joyous 

Praises to the King of Kings lift up your voice and sing 

(He's not here he is risen...
