My Jesus Lives (And So Shall I)

Lyrics

10/13/19
Words and Music by Quint and Jay Adkins
Original chorus by Alfred Henry Ackley

Verse 1
My Jesus lives and reigned before
The universe had taken form.
He fashioned all that came to be,
One with God in majesty.

Verse 2
My Jesus lives, Incarnate came.
He put on flesh and felt our pain.
And to fulfill His destiny,
He bled and died on Calvary.

Verse 3
My Jesus lives, up from the dead!
Our Christ arose just as He said.
Conquering death, with keys in hand,
His sacrifice atoned for man.

Verse 4 / Chorus
My Jesus lives and so shall I.
Sin and death have lost to life.
I was destined for the grave,
But raised to life, I have been saved.

Bridge
He lives! He lives! My Jesus lives today.
He walks with me and talks with me,
Along life's narrow way.
He lives! He lives! Salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives,
He lives within my heart!

Verse 5
My Jesus lives forevermore,
His glory now has been restored.
From age to age he will remain,
The Lord of all, our Sovereign King!
