Intro
I heard thunder in the valley,
Saw lightning on the hill,
Felt mercy start a-moving
Where my heart was lying still.
Roll that stone,
Roll that stone.
Yeah, let my Jesus roll that stone.
⸻
Verse 1
I had a dead-end dream
And a borrowed name,
Two tired hands
Full of yesterday’s shame.
Had dust on my boots,
Had mud on my soul,
Had a long list of reasons
Why I couldn’t be whole.
I was talking like a sinner
Who forgot he was saved,
Living like a free man
Still sleeping in chains.
Then Heaven came knocking
At the door of my bones,
Said, “Child, come alive,
Let Me roll that stone.”
⸻
Pre-Chorus 1
I heard Him call me
Out of that dark place.
I felt the old me
Fall under grace.
The devil said, “Finished.”
The Lord said, “Not so.”
Then love stepped in
And the stone had to roll.
⸻
Chorus
Roll that stone, roll that stone,
What was dead ain’t dead no more.
Shake that grave, wake those bones,
There’s a Light coming through that door.
I was down in the dust,
I was lost and alone,
Till the King of resurrection
Called me His own.
Roll that stone, roll that stone,
What was dead ain’t dead no more.
⸻
Verse 2
I’ve been out in the fields
When the rain wouldn’t fall,
Praying for a harvest
With my back to the wall.
I’ve been down to the river
With nothing to bring,
Just a cracked hallelujah
And a worn-out string.
But the same God who moves
Through the wind and the flame
Can breathe on a valley
And raise it again.
So I speak to the sorrow,
I speak to the cold,
“Make way for the Savior,
He’s rolling that stone.”
⸻
Pre-Chorus 2
I hear chains breaking
Like thunder in the night.
I see graves opening
In the morning light.
Fear said, “Stay buried.”
Faith said, “Let’s go.”
Then love stepped in
And the stone had to roll.
⸻
Chorus 2
Roll that stone, roll that stone,
What was dead ain’t dead no more.
Shake that grave, wake those bones,
There’s a Light coming through that door.
I was down in the dust,
I was lost and alone,
Till the King of resurrection
Called me His own.
Roll that stone, roll that stone,
What was dead ain’t dead no more.
⸻
Bridge
Let it roll off my family,
Let it roll off my name,
Let it roll off the years
That were buried in pain.
Let it roll through the church pews,
Let it roll through the streets,
Let it roll through the broken
And get them back on their feet.
The same voice that called Lazarus
Is calling my soul,
“Come out of that grave, child,
And roll that stone.”
⸻
Final Chorus
Roll that stone, roll that stone,
What was dead ain’t dead no more.
Shake that grave, wake those bones,
There’s a Light coming through that door.
I was blind, now I see,
I was cold, now I’m home,
I was buried under shame
Till He rolled that stone.
Roll that stone, roll that stone,
What was dead ain’t dead no more.
⸻
Outro Tag
Roll that stone,
Roll that stone.
What was dead
Ain’t dead no more.
