Lyrics and Chords
Jesus came alive in me From the album, ‘Stir into Flame’
One of the first songs written for United Folk to sing. Ken Hawker, a dear friend of ours, kindly allowed me to use his song
‘Rock of Gibraltar’ and set my own words to it. The tune had been written for a song festival, but it just seemed made for
these words which describe a conversion experience . . . mine. Sheila
Intro: F C F C G C
3C Am F
Into my life came a light, making the darkness seem bright,
Dm G C G
gone is the emptiness surrounding me, now I see!
C Am F
Spirit came down like a dove, came like a fire from above,
Dm G Dm G
resting me in His glory, telling me of His love.
Chorus:
F C F C G C G
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus came alive in me, now I see him clearly
F C F C G C
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus truly set me free!
Now I can open my heart, His word within me can start,
doing the work He wants me to each day, so I say, “Thank you!”
Letting Him into my will, moving within me until,
everything in me praises, truth has so much to tell. Chorus:
Am C F C
His peace will never leave you, if you but trust in Him.
Dm F G
Jesus is ever near you, just let Him come on in . . . Chorus:
Instrumental
If you would follow him too, seeing just what he can do,
what he has done for others, He now can do for you. Chorus
Vocalist: Mary Thompson
