The tomb is empty!
From the garden's hush, where sorrow lay so deep,
And all the world in silent vigil seemed to sleep,
A stone was rolled away, a tomb stood cold and bare
But Life, eternal Life, had shattered death’s despair.
The morning trembled, wrapped in mist and gray,
As dawn began to gently brush the night away.
Then came a light no shadow could contain
A love stronger than agony, stronger than pain.
They came with spices, grieving, bent, and bowed,
Beneath a heavy, unforgiving cloud.
But angels spoke with voices clear and bright:
“Why seek the Living One among the dead of night?”
O, feel the pulse of wonder, sharp and sweet,
The trembling joy where hope and heartbeat meet!
The wounds still visible, yet shining with a grace
That time and tomb and terror could not erase.
He walked again where doubt and sorrow trod,
And every step proclaimed the love of God.
No more the sting, no more the bitter loss
He bore the cruelest weight upon the cross,
To break the chains that held the captive soul,
And make the broken, wounded spirit whole.
So let the earth awaken, let the darkness part
He lives, He reigns, in every beating heart.
The stone is rolled, the empty tomb stands free:
A promise for eternity… for you, for me.
