My Name Is Jesus

My name is Matthew, you might have seen me Preaching and singing on these dusty streets Just one of many who were following Jesus We were all witness to miraculous feats Maybe you just heard last week they took Him On Friday, my Lord was hung on a cross It's been three days now and I feel so empty It's Sunday morning and I feel so lost My name is Mary, my heart is heavy I've cried so much, I can't cry anymore How could this happen? He was so gentle I've never met a man like Him before How I adored Him, how I believed Him Such a sweet peace when He walked in the room I washed his feet, oh, but lately, I can't sleep It's Sunday morning, think I'll visit His tomb My name is Peter, maybe they told you I had denied Him, I'm sorry, it's true He knew my weakness, still He forgave me I stood up to the soldiers, there were only a few But I felt His hand come to rest on my shoulder He lowered my sword, "Is this what I've taught?" That's when they took Him; later, they beat Him It's Sunday morning, I wish now I'd fought I am a soldier, I am a Roman I saw the wound in His side, cut so deep I have been stationed all night at his graveside But it's Sunday morning, and I fell asleep There in the darkness, the earth sand trembled The tomb was found empty, the stone rolled away Mary left weeping on the path was a stranger In the first light of Sunday, she asked Him His name She asked Him His name "My name is Jesus!" He said, "My name is Jesus and I have returned From the grave in fulfillment of my Father's plan I marched into hell, past the gates of that Kingdom And I have returned with the keys in my hand I am the son of God, I'm the redeemer I'm the great shepherd and I am the Lamb I was the crucified sacrifice Friday night But it's Sunday morning and I am alive! My name is Jesus (tell all the world He's alive, He's alive) Tell all the world He's alive, He's alive My name is Jesus (tell all the world He's alive, He's alive) Tell all the world He's alive, He's alive My name is Jesus (tell all the world He's alive, He's alive) Tell all the world He's alive, He's alive My name is Jesus (tell all the world He's alive, He's alive) Tell all the world He's alive, He's alive My name is Jesus (tell all the world He's alive, He's alive) Tell all the world He's alive My name is Jesus!
