Not Dead Lyrics

I was born dead, a slave to sin
but you came down to break the bondage i was in
now i don't live in the shadow of the past
and i won't walk in the shame of what once was

my heart beats with the strength of your love
with this breath i'll scream

i am not dead
i am alive
i am alive

this is more than just my emotions
my heart has been changed from within
i am a new creation transformed by your love
your grace has offered me a brand new life

my heart beats with the strength of your love
with this breath i'll scream

i am not dead
i am alive
i am alive

i am alive that's what he said
now tell death to move out my way
they killed him but he still rose
and he walked the earth till he was called home

this life is yours for your glory
so the world may know you are the one and only god
the one and only god

i am not dead
i am alive
i am alive
