some people say
god's an arm lit the way he keeps an eye on his flock
but from a distance
some people feel
he's not even real
there's no way to prove his existence
i know it's been said that he is dead and gone
but they're wrong
oh they're wrong
he is alive and well
alive and well
god is still almighty
he is still emmanuel
he is alive and well
gotta go and tell somebody
jesus is alive and well
some people plan to do away with the man
and the crazy ideas he was teaching
some people try
when christ was crucified
to put an end to a love so far reaching
i know it's been said that he is dead and gone
but they're wrong
oh they're wrong
he is alive and well
alive and well
god is still almighty
he is still emmanuel
he is alive and well
gotta go and tell somebody
jesus is alive and well
don't be fooled by worldly lies
that seek the wayward soul
the truth won't change it never dies
god is in control
he is alive and well
alive and well
god is still almighty
he is still emmanuel
he is alive and well
gotta go and tell somebody
jesus is alive
he is alive and well
alive and well
god is still almighty
he is still emmanuel
he is alive and well
gotta go and tell somebody
jesus is alive and well
