The Stone Rolled Away

 

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!
