That Tomb Is Still Empty

THAT TOMB IS STILL EMPTY

WORDS/MUSIC
HARVEY GENE SMITH
MY ABBY PUBLISHING
VERSE I
IN THE DAYS OF THE LAW, THE PROPHET ISAIAH, DECLARED A CHILD WOULD BE BORN
HE PROMISED TO FREE GOD’S CHILDREN FROM BONDAGE, WITH BLOOD, REDEMPTION WOULD COME
THE WAY TRUTH AND LIGHT WOULD COME MEEK AND LOWLY, IN DEATH HE WOULD PAY SIN’S COST
COMING WITH GRACE AND POWER TO SAVE, BRINGING HOPE TO THOSE WHO ARE LOST
VERSE II
HE SAID HE WOULD BE DESPISED AND REJECTED, ACQUAINTED WITH SORROW AND GRIEF
NO GUILE OR SIN IN HIM WOULD BE FOUND, NO LUST, NO HATE, NO DECEIT
HE SAID HE WOULD STAND AS A LAMB BEFORE SLAUGHTER, WITHOUT ONE WORD TO DEFEND
THAT HE’D MAKE HIS GRAVE WITH THE WICKED AND VILE, BUT IN THREE DAYS, HE’LL RISE AGAIN
CHORUS
OH, IM GLAD TODAY THAT TOMB IS STILL EMPTY, THAT STONE HAS BEEN ROLLED AWAY
ON THAT THIRD DAY JESUS CAME FORTH, WITH KEYS, TO DEATH HELL AND THE GRAVE
DEATH COULD NOT HOLD THE KING OF ALL GLORY, COULD NOT KEEP HIM THERE IN THAT GRAVE
MY GODS ALIVE AND LIVING IN ME, THAT TOMB IS STILL EMPTY TODAY
VERSE III
THEY TOOK JESUS DOWN FROM CALVARYS TREE, THEY LAID HIM THERE IN THE GRAVE
PILATE PLACED GUARDS TO WATCH DAY AND NIGHT, SAID SURELY, THERE HE WOULD STAY
BUT GOD SENT AN EARTHQUAKE, THE GUARDS FELL AS DEAD MEN, THEN AN ANGEL ROLLED THAT BIG STONE AWAY
JESUS CAME FORTH IN VICTR’Y AND POW’R, THAT TOMB IS STILL EMPTY TODAY
BRIDGE
HE LIVES, HE LIVES, CHRIST JESUS LIVES TODAY
