The Stone and the Sky

Verse 1
Dawn breaks cold on the edge of the hill
Three women walking with a bitter pill
Spices in their hands for a body of lead
Wondering who’s gonna move the rock instead
But the ground didn’t wait for a human hand
The seal was broken across the land.
Chorus
He is not here, the echo screams
Beyond the dust and the broken dreams
The King of the servants has taken the throne
Rolling the weight of the world off the stone
Yeah, He is not here, He has risen today
The shadow is gone and the light’s gonna stay.
Verse 2
Mary’s in the garden with a trembling heart
Saw the white robe where the shadows part
The young man spoke and the message was clear
"Don’t be afraid, there is nothing to fear"
He’s going to Galilee, tell the eleven
The Son of Man is the bridge to heaven.
Chorus
He is not here, the echo screams
Beyond the dust and the broken dreams
The King of the servants has taken the throne
Rolling the weight of the world off the stone
Yeah, He is not here, He has risen today
The shadow is gone and the light’s gonna stay.
Bridge
Go to the corners, go to the street
With the fire in your soul and the dust on your feet
Every creature’s gonna hear the sound
Of the chains of the grave hitting the ground
From the cross to the crown, the path is low
Serving the world is the only way to go.
Chorus
He is not here, the echo screams
Beyond the dust and the broken dreams
The King of the servants has taken the throne
Rolling the weight of the world off the stone
Yeah, He is not here, He has risen today
The shadow is gone and the light’s gonna stay.
Outro
The sky opened up to receive the Son
The work of the Servant has finally been done
He’s sitting at the right hand, watching the fight
Working through the hands of the children of light.
He is not here.
He has risen.
