Today’s hymn focus will be
“He Lives”
Matthew 28:6(ESV)
“He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.”
Alfred Ackley was an accomplished musician and a trained theologian, joining with Billy Sunday on many evangelistic crusades. During one of those revival services, he was confronted with this question by a young Jewish man, “Why should I worship a dead Jew?” He did not start by recounting the biblical narratives of Mary’s encounter in the garden or the two men on the road to Emmaus, nor did he quote the verses in I Corinthians about His victory over death. Rather, he expressed his conviction from his personal relationship and experience with Jesus; “He lives! I tell you, He is not dead, but lives here and now! Jesus is more alive today than ever before. I can prove it by my own experience, as well as the testimony of countless thousands.” (Sanville, 1943).
He lives! He Lives! Christ Jesus lives today. He walks with me
and talks with me along life’s narrow way…

He Lives
1
I serve a risen Savior
He’s in the world today.
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say.
I see His hand of mercy;
I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time I need Him
He’s always near.
He’s in the world today.
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say.
I see His hand of mercy;
I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time I need Him
He’s always near.
(Chorus)
He lives, He lives, Christ 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.
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.

In all the world around me
I see His loving care,
And though my heart grows weary,
I never will despair;
I know that He is leading,
Through all the stormy blast;
The day of His appearing
Will come at last.
In all the world around me
I see His loving care,
And though my heart grows weary,
I never will despair;
I know that He is leading,
Through all the stormy blast;
The day of His appearing
Will come at last.

Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian,
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ the King!
The Hope of all who seek Him,
The Help of all who find,
None other is so loving,
So good and kind.
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian,
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ the King!
The Hope of all who seek Him,
The Help of all who find,
None other is so loving,
So good and kind.
