THE STONE IS ROLLED AWAY!

Sickness, death & sin have ended
See lives transformed, changed and mended
The blood, the precious blood has been shed
The Saviour Christ for man has bled

His death was not the end
It was just the watershed
A new beginning He intended
By His resurrection from hell & death

The darkness could not comprehend
The light that shown and brightened hell
The gates of death could not defend
Their master from the onslaught sent

The grave could not keep Him dead
The throngs of hell could not keep Him bent
No power the mighty rush could fend
Every knee to the mighty name must bend

Resurrected by power so mighty
Bright and shining is His glory
He arose from death & Hades
King of glory, God so holy

The mighty angel descended
Men did quake and fall dead
Such was the sight that they fainted
The stone men placed, He simply shifted

The stone is rolled away
Come and see where He lay
No power His rise could stay
No obstacle, for He is the way

Hail, Zion's King who did ascend
Hark, the angels heralded
Let every knee in worship bend
Let every mouth His Lordship tell

Hail, Zion's King who did ascend
Hark, everlasting gates to Him attend
Lift up your heads, lift up your heads
The King has come, His Lordship accept

One no power of hell could  withstand
The King eternal and triumphant
No other than the great "I am"
None besides Him, Rock Eternal

Hail His name
Sing His praise
Shout His fame
Forever the same!
