Lyrics:

The Bells Are Ringing Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan The high priest would move Through the temple With bells around the bottom of his skirt And as he prepared an offering there The sound of the bells could be heard Now there in the Holy of Holies A sinful priest surely would die But the sound of the bells sent a message To all those who waited outside CHORUS: The bells are ringing, He's alive Oh yes, the sacrifice is worthy A sound that cannot be denied The price has been paid And as our hands are being raised Let His holy name be praised Tell every nation, every tribe The bells are ringing, He's alive Now Jesus was born the Messiah A man sent to save other men And scripture proclaims, He is the high priest Who offered Himself for our sins And cold was the tomb Where they laid Him And there only silence was found But on the third day The stone rolled away And the whole world Woke up to the sound CHORUS Open up your heart and listen Tell me what do you hear It's the sound of salvation Ringing He's alive And there's no need to fear CHORUS (repeat) In every nation, in every tribe The bells are ringing, He's alive 1998 Shepherd Boy MusicASCAP (adm. by Word, Inc., a division of Word Music) and Weedom
