I think this is the song you might be looking for. I'm not sure where to find sheet music for it though.
He's Alive
The gates doors were barred, and all the windows fastened down
I spent the night in sleeplessness, and rose at every sound
Half in hopeless sorrow, and half in fear of the day
But to find the soldiers breakin' through, to take us all away
Then just before the sunrise Iheard somethin' at the wall
The gate began to rattle, and a voice began to call
I hurried to the window, and looked down into the street
Expecting swords and torches, and the sound of soldiers' feet
There was no one there but Mary, so went down to let her in
John stood there beside me, as she told us where she'd been
She said they moved Him in the night, and none us knows where
The stone's been rolled away and now His body is not there
We both ran toward the garden, then John ran on ahead
We found the stone and the empty tomb just the way that Mary said
But the winding sheet they'd wrapped Him in was just an empty shell
And how or where they'd taken Him was more than I could tell
Well somethin' strange had happened there but just what, I didn't know
John beleived a miracle, but I just turned to go
Circumstance and speculation, couldn't lift me very high
Besides I seen Him crucified and then I watched Him die
Well back inside the house again all the guilt and the anguish came
Everything I'd promised Him just added to my shame
And when at last it came to choices, I denied I knew his Name
And even if he was alive it just couldn't be the same
Suddenly! The air was filled with a strange and sweet perfume
Light that came from everywhere drew shadows through the room
Jesus stood before me, with His arms held open wide
And I fell down on my knees to Him and just clung to Him and cried
Then He raised me to my feet, and as I looked into His eyes
Love was shining out from Him like sunlight from the skies
Guilt and my confusion, disappeared in sweet release
And every fear I ever had just vanished into peace
He's alive! He's alive! He's alive and you're forgiven!
Heaven's gate are open wide!
He's alive! He's alive! He's alive and you're forgiven!
Heaven's gate are open wide!
He's alive! He's alive! He's alive and you're forgiven!
Heaven's gate are open wide!
He's alive! He's alive!
He's a-live!
He's a-live!
