THE TOMB IS NOW EMPTY(THE CROSS IS NOW BARE)

THEY NAILED HIM TO A CROSS, CRUELLY CRUCIFIED

THEY MOCKED AND THEY SCORNED HIM, 'TILL HE FINALLY DIED

THEY SAW THAT HE WAS DEAD THEN SAID TAKE HIM AWAY

GO PLACE HIM IN A TOMB BUT THERE HE WOULD NOT STAY

CHORUS 1

THE TOMB IS NOW EMPTY, THE CROSS IS NOW BARE

FOR MY LORD AND SAVIOUR IS NO LONGER THERE

THEY COULDN'T KEEP HIM DOWN, FOR HE WAS HOMEWARD BOUND

THE GRAVE IS NOW EMPTY THE CROSS IS NOW BARE

THEY PLACED HIM IN A TOMB SEALED IT WITH A STONE

GUARDED IT WITH SOLDIERS DISCIPLES WENT HOME

THEN ON THE THIRD MORNING SAW THE STONE HAD BEEN MOVED

THE TOMB WAS NOW EMPTY HIS RISING WAS NOW PROVED

REPEAT CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2

THE GRAVE IS NOW EMPTY HE SITS ON HIS THRONE

HE'S BUILDING MY MANSION TO WELCOME ME HOME

YES DEATH IS DEFEATED MISSION NOW COMPLETED

THE GRAVE IS VACATED JESUS HAS GONE HOME

TAG:YES THE GRAVE IS NOW EMPTY THE CROSS IS NOW BARE
