If You Knew Him

                                                                                                                                      Joseph Habadank

I walked by the tomb of Buddha
Looked inside and saw his bones
Traveled on to see Mohammed
Still wrapped up in his grave clothes
Then I journeyed to a 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 you're wondering in the darkness
Come and step into the light
Nailed 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 unseen?
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 lives
He lives within my heart

If you felt Him, like I feel Him
Resurrection, deep inside
You'd know He's living
And death has died
Death has died
