ALIVE 
(Stayce Roberts / PANDAJAM MUSIC / ASCAP) 

 

Backstreet Sally the dreamer in the alley 
Had a penchant for the gold 
Had her eye on the money – it seemed kinda funny 
That she wondered why her pockets were cold 
But just a look in The Book was all it took and now everybody wants to know 

What’s that look in her eyes? 
And she says it’s Jesus who’s turned my life around 

Where can we go to find the answers 
In a life of crime without love 
Can a young man live where the old man dies 
Where Sally once was dead – now she’s Alive 
Tonight she’s Alive 

Along came Jesse – his life was kind of messy 
From a deal gone down in LA 
Doing time for a sentence that needed his repentance 
But he didn’t know how to pray 
Until the Man with The Plan just took his hand and now everybody wants to know 

What’s that look in his eyes? 
And he says it’s Jesus who turned my life around – Tell me 

Where can we go to find the answers 
In this life of crime without love 
Can a young man live where the old man dies 
Where Jesse once was dead – now he’s Alive 
In Him he’s Alive – now tell me 

Where can we run and who can we turn to 
When everything seems so wrong 
Where can you run and who are you gonna turn to 
Who’s gonna show you the way 

Down through the ages it’s been written in The Pages 
Of a Man who was crucified 
And only through Jesus who died to redeem us 
Can our spirit be glorified 
So put your faith in The One – God’s Holy Son 
And everyone will want to know 

What’s that look in your eyes? 
And you can tell them it’s Jesus who’s turned your life around
