I Am He that Liveth
C. Russell Hurditch • English
Primary Scripture: Revelation 1:18
Verse 1
He dies! He dies! The lowly Man of sorrows, On whom were laid our many griefs and woes; Our sins He bore, beneath God’s awful billows, And He hath triumphed over all our foes.
Chorus
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead, I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead; And behold, I am alive forevermore, Behold, I am alive forevermore; I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead, And behold, I am alive forevermore.
Verse 2
He lives! He lives! What glorious consolation! Exalted at His Father’s own right hand, He pleads for us, and by His intercession, Enables all His saints by grace to stand.
Chorus
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead, I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead; And behold, I am alive forevermore, Behold, I am alive forevermore; I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead, And behold, I am alive forevermore.
Verse 3
He comes! He comes! O blest anticipation! In keeping with His true and faithful word; To call us to our heav’nly consummation— Caught up, to be "forever with the Lord."
Chorus
I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead, I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead; And behold, I am alive forevermore, Behold, I am alive forevermore; I am He that liveth, that liveth and was dead, And behold, I am alive forevermore.
