Roll Away the Stone Lyrics

Early Sunday morning on their way to the grave

Where Joseph laid the body of The Life, The Truth, The Way

They carried spices and perfume to anoint his body

Their hearts were heavy and their arms were full, and wondered

Who would roll away the stone?

But when they got there, you know they found an empty tomb

The grave was empty and the cloth was there but there was no body in the room

Mary was surprised when she turned around to see the gardener, and so she asked him

"Mister can you tell me where they've taken my Lord? And tell me

Who rolled away the stone?"

He can roll away the stone (He can roll away the stone)

He can roll away the stone (He can roll away the stone)

He can roll away the stone that's before the grave (He can roll away the stone)

You may not think that there is life in the tomb behind it

But He can roll away the stone

Jesus on the road to visit friends that He loved

Everybody thought that He had taken His time about it

They told him that his friend had died just before He got there

That it was too late to do any good

He felt the anguish that was in their hearts

And told them "You've got to roll away the stone"
