Take Away the StoneCreated to live in the light, a gift from the FatherTo shine with a brilliance and warmth, unlike any other. Hid away in the darkness of the tomb Guilt-filled shadows of sin threaten to consume. But the Light of the World shines about, As Jesus cries, “Come Out!” Chorus:And take away the stone, let your soul awaken;Take away the stone, and be set free Free from the guilt of the sin that binds you Live in the light of resurrection power And take away the stone! We… we belong to the light, we belong to the Father And He calls you to arise, be freed to a life like no other A new life of freedom through grace Receive His eternal embrace Oh rise up! Look to Jesus, reach out He beckons for you to “Come out!” Chorus:And take away the stone, let your soul awaken;Take away the stone, and be set free Free from the guilt of the sin that binds you Live in the light of resurrection power And take away the stone! Take away the stone? Bridge:He released Lazarus from the darkness of the tombTo the light of a new and glorious day Come out of the dark shadows, let Jesus save your soul He is the light… yes, Jesus is the way Chorus:Just take away the stone, let your soul awaken;Take away the stone, and be set free Free from the guilt of the sin that binds you Live in the light of resurrection power And take away the stone… Let your soul awaken Take away the stone, and be set free Free from the guilt of the sin that binds you Live in the light of resurrection power And take away the stone! Just take away the stone! Yes take away the stone! Music & Lyrics by: Elizabeth Deveau Composed: April 16, 2006 © SOCAN August 2006 |
