My son Iestyn has just produced an update of the gospel song He lives! unaware that I had done the same some time ago. Unsurprisingly our updates turn out to be very similar. Here is mine. We both amended narrow way - myself to joyful way and Iestyn to exciting way, both conscious that the term narrow is now associated with narrow-mindedness, which is not what Jesus was advocating. I think Iestyns choice is better, so I have adopted it. HE LIVES. I serve a risen Saviour, he’s in the world today, I know that he is living, whatever others say. I see his hands of kindness, 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 On lifes exciting way. He lives, He lives, to give us a new start! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart. (2) In all the world around me I sense his loving care, And though Im often weary I never will despair; I know he will befriend me as long as life shall last; Together we will meet him, our journeys past. (3) Rejoice, rejoice, all people who try like him to love; For Jesus now has risen, all other names above! The hope of all who seek him, the strength of all who find; No other is so loving, so good and kind. ( A.H. Ackley 1872-1958 Updated by John Henson. )
