He Is Alive

He is alive  
He went down but not under
They sealed Him off but they couldn’t keep Him in
Mary searched, but an angle answered
Look not for the living amongst the dead 

We spat on Him some of us still to
We mocked the King, and yes some of us still do
We crucified him, ya some of us still do

Neither we nor they, not even them no one
No one could kill him
For His life were no ones to take, but only His to give

He is alive
