[Verse 1]
AbI am Joseph Smith, a humble Dbprophet of the Lord
EbI’ve been foreordained from the founAbdation of the World
To Fmbring unto all Ebman, the Abmessage of His DbPlan
And bless the lives of those who call his Ebname
AmStill, they come, to Ftake me away
For Gonly declaring, what I Emknow to be true
My Ftime, has not Gcome, the Cwork is C/Gnot yet Amdone
For my Ftestimony, I must share with Gyou
[Chorus]
He CLives, for I have Fseen the Son of God
He GLives, and for us F/CSalvation Cbrought
He Amhealed the sick, Emraised the dead, he Fsuffered for our Csins
Now, DmI've been called to Cstand, as a Fwitness that..G. He CLives!
[Verse 2]
As a Abyounger boy I knelt, and Dbwitnessed heavens love
As the EbFather and Son came down Abfrom their thrones above
The Fmwords that they did Ebshare, I Abcarry everyDbwhere
And testify to those who have not Ebheard
AmMob's may rage, Farmy's may combine
But the GStandard of Truth will still Emecho in my mind
The Fgospel's here to Gstay, though Csoon I'll C/Ggo awAmay
I'll Fshare with you the greatest truth I Gknow
[Chorus]
He CLives, for I have Fseen the Son of God
He GLives, and for us F/CSalvation Cbrought
He Amhealed the sick, Emraised the dead, he Fsuffered for our Csins
Now, DmI've been called to Cstand, as a Fwitness that..G. He CLives!
[Verse 3]
I Absaw the cruel men come, Dbtake Joseph away
I Ebfell upon my knees, and Abprayed that he might stay
Then Fmall at once he Ebturned, my Abfinal lesson Dblearned
He comforted our souls with these few Ebwords
"Like a Amlamb to the slaughter, Fcalm as the summers morn"
He Gtestified, that to this end, Emhe too, was born
Then Fbefore they rode aGway, holding CEmma C/Ghe did Amsay
"I Flove the Lord, please go and share, this Gmessage that"...
[Chorus]
He CLives, for I have Fseen the Son of God
He GLives, and for us F/CSalvation Cbrought
He Amhealed the sick, Emraised the dead, he Fsuffered for our Csins
Now, DmI will go and Cseal, my Fwitness that..G. He CLives!
[Chorus]
He CLives, for I have Fseen the Son of God
He GLives, and for us F/CSalvation Cbrought
He Amhealed the sick, Emraised the dead, he Fsuffered for our Csins
Now, DmI will go and Cseal, my Fwitness that..G. He CLives!
