lyrics
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Jesus is alive
Death has lost its victory
And the grave has been denied
And Jesus lives forever
He's alive! He's alive!
He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and last is He
The curse of sin is broken
And we have perfect liberty
The lamb of God has risen
He's alive! He's alive!
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Jesus is alive
Death has lost its victory
And the grave has been denied
Jesus lives forever
He's alive! He's alive!
He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and last is He
The curse of sin is broken
And we have perfect liberty
The lamb of God has risen
He's alive! He's alive!
Hallelujah, Jesus is alive!
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Jesus is alive
Death has lost its victory
And the grave has been denied
Jesus lives forever
He's alive! He's alive!
He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and last is He
The curse of sin is broken
And we have perfect liberty
The lamb of God has risen
Hallelujah, Jesus is alive
Death has lost its victory
And the grave has been denied
And Jesus lives forever
He's alive! He's alive!
He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and last is He
The curse of sin is broken
And we have perfect liberty
The lamb of God has risen
He's alive! He's alive!
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Jesus is alive
Death has lost its victory
And the grave has been denied
Jesus lives forever
He's alive! He's alive!
He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and last is He
The curse of sin is broken
And we have perfect liberty
The lamb of God has risen
He's alive! He's alive!
Hallelujah, Jesus is alive!
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Jesus is alive
Death has lost its victory
And the grave has been denied
Jesus lives forever
He's alive! He's alive!
He's the Alpha and Omega
The first and last is He
The curse of sin is broken
And we have perfect liberty
The lamb of God has risen
Ron Kenoly (born
December 6, 1944) is an American Christian worship leader,
singer, and songwriter whose expressed mission is "to create an
environment for the manifest presence of God". His musical style is one of
jubilant praise and individual excellence on musical instruments. Although
Kenoly himself only plays on one of his recordings, he leads comfortably with
his voice and is always backed up by musicians and a large choir.
He holds several degrees, including a music degree
from Alameda College, a Master of Divinity from Faith Bible
College, and a Doctorate of Ministry in Sacred music from
Friends International Christian University. His music career began
following time spent in the United States Air Force. He was
originally with a group called The Mellow Fellows, but family issues caused him
to leave the group. His critical success came in 1992 when Lift Him Up became
the fastest selling worship album to that point. Welcome Home produced
by Tom Brooks was also critically
acclaimed, becoming Billboard's Top contemporary worship music album, and
winning a Gospel Music Association Dove Award for
"Praise and Worship Album" in 1997. He was signed to Integrity Music,
but is no longer recording for them.
He began working in full-time ministry in 1985. He started
out as a worship leader at Jubilee Christian Center in San Jose, California. Not long after that, in
1987, he was ordained and installed as Music Pastor. As worship leader, his
sole focus was leading worship service. When he became music pastor, he became
the shepherd over the entire music department at Jubilee Christian Center. In
1993, after the two Integrity recordings, he started receiving invitations from
all over the world. Churches not only wanted him to come lead praise and
worship, but also to help them develop their music departments. So shortly
afterwards, he was named Ambassador of Music at Jubilee Christian Center. He
was sent out from the church as an ambassador to the world to help churches
develop and find the balance between worship and the Word. In 1996, he received
his Doctorate in Ministry of Sacred Music. In 1999, he felt the call to move
from California to the East Coast. So, he relocated the ministry
to Central Florida where he continues to
travel, speak, sing and teach and record. He sings all over the world. Kenoly
has also written a few books, one of them written with his pastor, Dick Bernal.
Kenoly states that when his mother, Edith Kenoly, was
pregnant with him, she would rub her stomach, and her prayer was, "Lord
let this one praise you."
After graduating from high school in his birthplace,
Coffeyville, Kansas, Kenoly ventured out to Hollywood, California. When plans
to make it in the big city fell through, he joined the Air Force in 1965. It
was in the military that he met and married Tavita, his wife of 42 years. It
was also there that the humble beginnings of his music career were launched.
Kenoly joined the Mellow Fellows, a top 40 cover band that toured military
bases. In 1968, he left the Air Force and the Mellows Fellows behind and
shipped out to the City of Angels to go after his passion: music.
"As a child I remember seeing Sammy Davis Jr. and Nat King Cole for
the first time. I was so impressed as I watched two Black men grace a national
stage. I knew right then that was what I wanted." So for the next few
years, Kenoly poured all of his energy into making his childhood dream a
reality. He sang demos of Jimmy Webb songs,
like the 70's hit "Up, Up and Away," for the Audio Arts label. The
label also released Kenoly's first single, "The Glory of Your Love (Mine
Eyes Have Seen)." Success in the R&B arena came after he signed with
A&M Records. Under that label, he cranked out songs like, "Soul
Vaccination".
Ron Kenoly and Candy were the first act signed to Semper's
Inner City label. Their "Lovely Weekend" single was a massive success
selling close to 200, 000 copies. "The two of them came and sang the song
at my house and I knew straight away I wanted to sign them," explains
Semper. "We recorded it at CBA (Clark Brown Audio) recording studio in the
Crenshaw district of Los Angeles in 1972.
A&M Records boosted his success with R&B. The
label executives changed his name to Ron Keith. He made R&B hits such as 'I
Betcha I'll Get Ya', 'Soul Vaccination', and (in 1975) 'Can't Live Without
You'.
Some years later, he decided to drop R&B music and
devote himself to a Christian life. He tried for four years to get a gospel
record deal. In 1983, he released a custom-made album, 'You Ought to Listen to
This. It was a project known around Kenoly's community (not internationally
released).
Kenoly eventually started leading praise and worship for
other pastors such as Jack Hayford and Lester Sumrall.
This caught the attention of Mario Murillo,
who introduced him to Pastor Dick Bernal, the founder of Jubilee Christian Center. Ron Kenoly
became the church's music minister in 1987.
