The Stone Is Gone

[Verse 1] I wrote the ways You'd prove Your love On pages full of plans A door unlocked, a fear removed A future in my hands But when the answer wasn't yes My hallelujah stalled I measured heaven by my wants And barely saw the cross [Pre-Chorus] You didn't owe me what I asked You gave Yourself instead [Chorus] The stone is gone, the grave is empty Jesus, You are still alive I won't make my plans the measure Of the love that saved my life When my questions have no answer When the night feels twice as long You are faithful through the waiting The cross remains, the stone is gone [Verse 2] There are prayers I still am praying There are names I speak through tears I can bring them to Your mercy Without making bargains here You have heard my honest questions You have not despised my grief By the scars upon Your hands You have given hope to me [Pre-Chorus] I can ask and still surrender I can grieve and still believe [Chorus] The stone is gone, the grave is empty Jesus, You are still alive I won't make my plans the measure Of the love that saved my life When my questions have no answer When the night feels twice as long You are faithful through the waiting The cross remains, the stone is gone [Bridge - half-time, building] Not a crown this world could give me Not a life without a scar Not a thousand easy answers Jesus, only who You are You went down into the darkness And You broke the hold of death Living Savior, take my future Take this heart and every breath [Final Chorus] The stone is gone, the grave is empty Jesus, You are still alive I won't make my plans the measure Of the love that saved my life When my questions have no answer When the night feels twice as long You are faithful through the waiting The cross remains, the stone is gone [Outro] You have risen; I surrender Jesus, all my hope is Yours
