A stone so mighty was perfectly shaped
To seal the Lord in a tomb
Down off the cross, in linen wrapped
His body in death’s cold tomb.
A stone so mighty was made
Making certain his body stayed
For the rumor they heard, before he died,
“He’ll rise and walk from his grave!”
A stone so mighty was cut
And rolled to shut life out
Soldiers were posted to guard the tomb
His power they did not doubt.
A stone so mighty was unable
To do what they had thought.
It couldn’t defeat the love of the Lord,
Or the Forgiveness the cross has brought!
