The soldiers led Jesus
From a courtroom of mockery
And nailed Him to an old cross to die
They laughed at His statement
"I'll rise again, you'll see"
One pierced a sharp spear in His side

And His cry, "It is finished"
Was heard from the hillside
He was placed in a tomb by His friends
His words were remembered
By Mary as she cried
"I must die, but I'll live again"

Not even the grave clothes
Not even a stone
Not even the soldiers
Who watched all night long
Not even the great Romans
Sealed at the door
All the powers of darkness
Couldn't hold down our Lord

If you journey to Jerusalem
To the grave that held Jesus
You'll find that His body is gone
But there's still an echo
That shouts at the devil
"You're defeated, Christ Jesus has won"
Not even the grave clothes
Not even a stone
Not even the soldiers
Who watched all night long
Not even the great Romans
Sealed at the door
All the powers of darkness
Couldn't hold down our Lord

Not even the grave clothes
Not even a stone
Not even the soldiers
Who watched all night long
All the powers of darkness
All the powers of darkness
All the powers of darkness
Couldn't hold down our Lord
