Verse 1:

The day was dark when Jesus died,
stone sealed the tomb as people cried
In the grave He would not stay, came forth to roll the stone away
Women went to check the grave, they were scared yet very brave
Christ the rock would rise again, He came forth they saw Him then

CHRIST WAS BURIED IN THE TOMB, BUT WOULDN’T STAY FOR LONG
GOD’S MIGHTY POWER BROUGHT HIM FORTH, HE’D RISEN HE WAS GONE
A GREAT MIRACLE HAD HAPPENED THAT RESURRECTION DAY
WHEN THE MIGHTY ROCK OF AGES, ROLLED THE STONE AWAY

Verse 2:

Disciples thought it could not be, they checked his hands and feet to see
Christ was there as flesh and bone, then left to sit on Heaven’s throne
At His designated hour, He sent down the Spirit’s Power
Man’s sin cleansed by saving grace, as the rock would take their place

REPEAT CHORUS

Verse 3:

Paid with blood sin’s debt for men, the plan complete He’ll come again
No cross, no tomb, no stone in place kept him down His plan erased
Planned before the world began, finished by the one God-man
To God’s throne men saw Him rise, He’s not dead He is alive

BRIDGE:

HE WAS BRUISED YET HE BROUGHT HEALING, HE WAS DEAD BUT HE BROUGHT LIFE
HE BORE THE SIN OF MANY, A WILLING SACRIFICE
WITH SEVEN INCH NAILS JESUS PAID THE SINNERS PRICE

Repeat Chorus:
