Lyrics

Let love ex (G)plode and bring the (C)dead to life,

a love so (Am)bold to see a rev o (F)lu tion some how.

Let love ex (G)plode and bring the (C)dead to life,

a love so (Am)bold to bring a rev o (F)lu tion some how.

Now I’m lost in Your free dom,

and this world I’ll (F)o ver come.

My God’s not dead; He’s sure ly a live.

He’s liv ing on the in side, roar ing like a li on.

(G)God’s not dead; He’s sure ly a live.

He’s liv ing on the in side, (Fmaj7)roar ing like a li on.

Roar ing, He’s roar ing, He’s roar ing like a li on.

Let hope a rise and make the dark ness hide.

My faith is (Am)dead; I need a res ur (F)rec tion some how.

Now I’m lost in Your free dom,

and this world I’ll (Dm)o (C)ver (F)come.

My God’s not dead; He’s sure ly a live.

He’s liv

Come shake the (Am7)ground with the sound

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with driving, upbeat rhythms in C major — your left hand will lock into an octave bass pattern that gives the song its anthemic energy, so spend a few minutes just drilling that left hand alone until the octave jumps feel automatic at a slower tempo, maybe 90 BPM, before bringing it up to 130.

Your right hand cycles through familiar chord shapes, but watch the transitions into Gsus4 and Fmaj7 — those added tones can trip you up if you're rushing, so loop any phrase where they appear until your fingers land cleanly.

The move from Am7 to Dm is another spot worth isolating since it's easy to clip the seventh on the way out.

Keep your wrist relaxed through the power-chord sections and let the rhythm stay punchy rather than heavy.

Once both hands sync comfortably, this is the song that'll really cement your ability to keep a steady, confident pulse under simple but satisfying chord progressions — and that skill transfers to almost every pop and worship tune you'll play next.
