1. Jesus came to live with purpose firm and clear: to show in all he said and did how God was drawing near -- Jesus came to live! Alleluia! Alleluia! 2. Seizures and disease were pacified and quelled, dissolving at a healing touch or by a word expelled -- With a healing touch! Alleluia! Alleluia! 3. People shunned and scorned were lifted from disgrace and at the banquet of rebirth enjoyed an honored place. All will have a place! Alleluia! Alleluia! 4. Earth's controlling powers God's peace could not abide, so Jesus bore their fearful rage, condemned and crucified. Crucified for us! Alleluia! Alleluia! 5. Jesus bore our sins, but truth becomes a lie if in God's name we simply claim that Jesus came to die. Jesus came to live! Alleluia! Alleluia! 6. Let us then be kind, seek justice and forgive, to show and tell the peace of God that Jesus came to live. Jesus came to live! Alleluia! Alleluia!
