Father, I see an empty grave
Both ahead of me and behind
A cold stone tomb meant to destroy
Yet brings me such peace of mind

At the Cross, my Savior died
The cold stone tomb that sealed my fate 
In Him I was reborn in Righteousness
Now wide before me is heaven's gate
 
The tomb behind me is forever empty
Jesus’ death and Resurrection redeemed my life
The tomb reminds me I once died
That He bore the pain of all my strife
 
Father, I see an empty grave
That cold stone tomb tells me I'm Yours
I'll never have to fear my fate
You've already opened up heaven's doors
 
The gift You sent from Your own heart
The gift containing all Your love
The gift of Jesus who laid down his life
The tomb secured my place up above
 
The gift that makes me Righteous
The gift that fills love inside heart
The gift of the empty tomb's promise
That you'll never forsake nor part
 
The tomb reminds me of His love for me
Has made a way to break down my walls
That I'm fearfully and wonderfully made
I can roam freely through heaven's halls
 
That is my home and rightful place
Paid for by my Savior's death
When His body hung on that Cross
Dismissed His Spirit with His last breath
 
Oh, how I love that empty tomb
Now sin and death shrink back and cower
Because Jesus rose for my Justification
He returned in Glory to heaven's tower
 
Thank You for the tomb, Father.
In Jesus’ name
Amen
