My Name Is Jesus

My name is Matthew, you might have seen me
 Preaching and singing on these dusty streets
 Just one of many who were following Jesus
 We were all witness to miraculous feats
 Maybe you just heard last week they took Him
 On Friday, my Lord was hung on a cross
 It's been three days now and I feel so empty
 It's Sunday morning and I feel so lost
 My name is Mary, my heart is heavy
 I've cried so much, I can't cry anymore
 How could this happen? He was so gentle
 I've never met a man like Him before
 How I adored Him, how I believed Him
 Such a sweet peace when He walked in the room
 I washed his feet, oh, but lately, I can't sleep
 It's Sunday morning, think I'll visit His tomb
 My name is Peter, maybe they told you
 I had denied Him, I'm sorry, it's true
 He knew my weakness, still He forgave me
 I stood up to the soldiers, there were only a few
 But I felt His hand come to rest on my shoulder
 He lowered my sword, "Is this what I've taught?"
 That's when they took Him; later, they beat Him
 It's Sunday morning, I wish now I'd fought
 I am a soldier, I am a Roman
 I saw the wound in His side, cut so deep
 I have been stationed all night at his graveside
 But it's Sunday morning, and I fell asleep
 There in the darkness, the earth sand trembled
 The tomb was found empty, the stone rolled away
 Mary left weeping on the path was a stranger
 In the first light of Sunday, she asked Him His name
 She asked Him His name
 "My name is Jesus!"
 He said, "My name is Jesus and I have returned
 From the grave in fulfillment of my Father's plan
 I marched into hell, past the gates of that Kingdom
 And I have returned with the keys in my hand
 I am the son of God, I'm the redeemer
 I'm the great shepherd and I am the Lamb
 I was the crucified sacrifice Friday night
 But it's Sunday morning and I am alive!
 My name is Jesus (tell all the world He's alive, He's alive)
 Tell all the world He's alive, He's alive
 My name is Jesus (tell all the world He's alive, He's alive)
 Tell all the world He's alive, He's alive
 My name is Jesus (tell all the world He's alive, He's alive)
 Tell all the world He's alive, He's alive
 My name is Jesus (tell all the world He's alive, He's alive)
 Tell all the world He's alive, He's alive
 My name is Jesus (tell all the world He's alive, He's alive)
 Tell all the world He's alive
 My name is Jesus!
