Take Away the Stone

Created to live in the light, a gift from the Father
To 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 tomb
To 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!
