Resurrection Day
Country/Upbeat Gospel — Jake
VERSE 1
It went down in the middle of the day on that fateful Friday
The earth shook like the stars were about to fall
Graves were opened, souls were rising,
Darkness took a victory lap as the light of the world was laid low
He was lifted from the cross and placed inside a tomb
And every soul that loved Him wondered — is this really how it ends?
INTERLUDE / CRY (raw, desperate, voices of the disciples)
Roll the stone away — roll the stone away I remember he said.
It would have to be this way.
But I remember.
He said He would never leave us or forsake us
Roll the stone away — it can't end this way
Roll the stone away
VERSE 2
Early light on Sunday morning, they came walking to His grave
But when they looked inside — no one was there
An angel said, "Why do you seek the living with the dead?
He is risen, He is Risen just like He said — go and tell them everywhere" The stones been rolled away,
The stone was rolled, the seal was broken, death had lost its claim
And nothing — nothing — would ever be the same
CHORUS
On Resurrection Day — let the angels sing
Man, you've been redeemed from sin and shame
He's alive — Jesus is alive —
Roll the stone away
It's Resurrection Day!
BRIDGE (building, tempo rising)
They thought the grave would silence Him
Satan thought he had won
But when he looked again
He saw God's begotten son
The prison door had been open.
The captives have gone free
The victory has been won
FINAL CHORUS (full, triumphant)
The grave couldn't hold Him — death had nothing left to say, and it will always be that way
Nothing's ever gonna be the same —
Roll the stone away — Roll the stone away
It's Resurrection Day!
RESURRECTION DAY
RESURRECTION DAY!
