If You Knew Him

i walked by the tomb of buddha
looked inside and saw his bones,
traveled on to see mohammad
still wrapped up in his grave clothes,
then i journeyed to the garden,
where old joseph left him lay,
the precious lamb
god's own begotten
was no longer in that grave

if you knew him like i know him,
you would know that he's alive,
if you felt him like i feel him,
resurrection deep inside
you'd know he's living
and death has died

if your wandering in the darkness
come and step into the light,
nail scarred hands reach out to help you,
to pull you safe from death to life,
friend i too have stood where you stand,
could i trust in things i see,
but just one step in his direction
then in love he ran to me

if you knew him like i know him,
you would know that he's alive,
if you felt him like i feel him
resurrection deep inside,
you'd know he's living
and death has died

you ask me how i know he's living,
he lives within my heart
if you felt him like i feel him
resurrection deep inside,
you' know he living
and death has died,
death has died...
