When Mary came to find the tomb of Jesus
The stone was moved, the Lord is risen
The angel said "fear not, the Lord is risen
Don't see the living here among the graves

Gone, the stone is rolled back,
Gone, the tomb is empty
Gone, to sit at the Father's side
Gone, over death triumphant
Gone, sin is defeated
Gone, He lives forevermor.

Oh come with me and see the risen Savior
Who still can turn the dark of death to day
Who calms the storms of doubt
And parts the ocean
Oh he still can roll your heavy stones away

He's gone, the stone is rolled back
He's gone, the tomb is empty
He's in heaven sitting by the father's side
He's gone
Gone, over death triumphant
Jesus is gone
Gone, sin is defeated,
Jesus lives 
Forevermoe
