The Empty Tomb

Verse 1 In the garden, late at night, He knelt alone, the Lamb of Light. Betrayed with kiss, by love denied, He bore our guilt, was crucified. Verse 2 Thorns were pressed upon His brow, The weight of sin was on Him now. He took the nails, the wrath, the blame, And whispered low the sinner’s name. Chorus The empty tomb, the stone rolled wide, Death defeated, Jesus alive! From the cross to Heaven’s throne, He rose to make our hearts His home. Love has won, the grave undone— Salvation shines with morning sun! Verse 3 The sky grew dark, the earth did shake, As Heaven wept for mercy’s sake. His final breath, a cry so deep: “It is finished”—He fell asleep. Verse 4 Three long days of silent grief, But then the dawn broke unbelief. The angel spoke, the stone was gone, The risen Christ, the Living Song! (Repeat Chorus) The empty tomb, the stone rolled wide, Death defeated, Jesus alive! From the cross to Heaven’s throne, He rose to make our hearts His home. Love has won, the grave undone— Salvation shines with morning sun! Bridge Now every chain is torn apart, Forgiveness written on our hearts. Oh death, where is your victory? He lives to set the captive free! Final Chorus The empty tomb, forever stands, A doorway to the Promised Land. Our Savior reigns, our lives made new, Through Christ, the Way, the Life, the Truth. So we will sing, beyond the gloom— We’re made alive… by the empty tomb.
