If It Weren't For The Stone

[Intro- Celebratory Piano] (Verse 1) There’s a hill that’s been remembered, Where my Savior gave His life, Where mercy flowed in crimson, Through the pain and sacrifice. But oh, what sealed my freedom, It didn’t end with darkened skies; It was the breaking of the morning, When that stone rolled wide. (Chorus) If it weren’t for the stone that moved, If the grave stayed cold and closed, Then the story of salvation Would’ve left us lost and alone. But that tomb was torn wide open, Our Savior’s risen throne! It’s not just about the cross, no, But the stone, oh, the stone. (Verse 2) In that silence of the morning, When the guards fell like the night, A holy whisper shook the grave, As darkness turned to light. He didn’t stay among the shadows, No power held Him bound; The cross brought grace, but freedom came When the stone rolled ‘round. (Chorus) If it weren’t for the stone that moved, If the grave stayed cold and closed, Then the story of salvation Would’ve left us lost and alone. But that tomb was torn wide open, Our Savior’s risen throne! It’s not just about the cross, no, But the stone, oh, the stone. (Bridge) Now when I face my trials, I remember what He did, How death was conquered once for all, In that empty place He hid. The cross was His surrender, But the stone was where He won; And I live with hope unbroken, By the power of what He’s done. (Chorus) If it weren’t for the stone that moved, If the grave stayed cold and closed, Then the story of salvation Would’ve left us lost and alone. But that tomb was torn wide open, Our Savior’s risen throne! It’s not just about the cross, no, But the stone, oh, the stone. (Outro) So when I talk of Calvary, I speak of more than nails and blood; I tell of life beyond the grave, Of that stone rolled back in love. It’s not just about the cross, no, But the stone, oh, the stone.. [End Vocals] [End Instrumentals] [End Song]
