I serve a risen Savior
He's in the world today.
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say.
I see His hand of mercy;
I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time I need Him
He's always near.
He's in the world today.
I know that He is living,
Whatever men may say.
I see His hand of mercy;
I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time I need Him
He's always near.
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart.
He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart.

In all the world around me
I see His loving care,
And though my heart grows weary,
I never will despair;
I know that He is leading,
Through all the stormy blast;
The day of His appearing
Will come at last.

Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian,
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ the King!
The Hope of all who seek Him,
The Help of all who find,
None other is so loving,
So good and kind.
Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ the King!
The Hope of all who seek Him,
The Help of all who find,
None other is so loving,
So good and kind.

This song for me is such a 'pick me up'. I always feel at these times I am carried by Jehovah-Ahavah and that I am at the end of myself. (Good place to be though it may not seem like it at the time) Amen!

I used to sing this song when I was younger (20 yrs ago). Woke up today, started singing the parts I remembered, then looked up the lyrics. After singing the first couple verses, just started crying (with joy I guess). If not already, I hope I will one day be saved and I hope the same for you all. May God bless!

I love this rousing song from the pen of Alfred Ackley. He is quite a musical maestro who eventually became an ordained Presbyterian minister. I remember in primary school in Singapore we clapped our hands when we sing this song to give its rhythm. I know He lives [hold], He lives within my heart.

I woke to this song, what a blessing Godly music is. Truly this experience is mine as well. Praise the Lord for a living Savior.

We sang this song in the children's choir in Lincoln, Nebraska at North Minister Presbyterian Church for Easter. It greatly moved me then in the 1950's and still does today. Yesterday we sang it in Church and it brought tears if Joy to my eyes and fond memories of how Joyfully we sang it by memory for our congregation. Thank You Judy for being our choir Director and teaching us to minister to others with music.

My wife and I are firm believers of Christ Jesus though that we were sinners and He has walked and talked with us but we always never really listened then when we thought that we ran far enough away from Him somehow someway when we felt that we weren't gonna have anything He'd always came through. You see if anything I said made any sense know this that He will never give ya what you think ya want but He by His will meet and give you what ya need and you can take that to the bank with all that being said may God meet your needs today. Just ask and believe that. Your friends, BIG ROB AND SYLVIA.

I came across your website while searching for the story behind this hymn for the church bulletin board. At a Lenten community service recently the minister told us the story and recited the lyrics. The way he spoke was so inspiring that the congregation broke out in applause. That hadn't happened at any other Lenten service and I don't recall that ever happening at a regular church service in my experience where the people spontaneously broke into applause at the conclusion. Maybe a few 'Amens'... Anyway, I love the music available on your site and will be back.

Just like Lori, I recall this song which was sung at my church (Carter Chapel CME Church in Amarillo Texas) on Resurrection Sunday (Easter). My mother was in the church choir and they all had their white robes. The church rang out with the hymn and made you believe that Christ was present right there.
Since He lives, we know He is coming back and the way things are going in the world, it seems to be approaching. Make sure you are ready for the price of not being ready is tragic. Hallelujah!!!
