	Story Behind the Song To be honest, though I wanted to put out this mp3 for the 2000 Easter season, I was scratching my head trying to figure out an arrangement. Everything that I could come up with in my head, I felt, would just sound too hokey. For years a line in the chorus has reminded me of Puff the Magic Dragon and I could not get Peter, Paul and Mary out of my head. I should know by now that the best thing to do when I have writers block is talk to Vanessa. Finally, after repeated failures on my own, I asked her: What do you think I should do? Without hesitation she replied, Do a piano arrangement of it. You have to know that she loves my piano playing. So that would probably be her first choice every time. Well, she was right! I went ahead and just banged the song out on my piano. After I was finished I played it for Vanessa to see what she thought; and the arrangement was given the OK. So here it is, delivering up joyous praise in celebration of the resurrection of Christ. He Lives!. . .and we pray that this rendition of this favorite Easter hymn will encourage you to praise God with resounding joy as you reflect on this wonderful fact.
