1)
THEY PLACED MY SAVIOR IN JOSEPH'S TOMB
AND SAW THAT THE SEAL WAS SURE
THE PHARISEES WORRIED
THAT SOMEONE WOULD TAKE HIM
AND THINGS WOULD BE WORSE THAN BEFORE
BUT AT THE DAWNING OF A NEW DAY
MARY FOUND THE STONE ROLLED AWAY
THE ANGEL SAID HE'S NOT HERE ANYMORE
1st CHORUS
IT WAS A BORROWED TOMB
THAT THEY PLACED HIM IN THAT DAY
A BORROWED TOMB
BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WOULD NOT STAY
HE ONLY NEEDED A PLACE FOR A LITTLE WHILE
THEN HE WOULD ARISE
THE BORROWED TOMB NOW IS EMPTY
AND JESUS IS ALIVE
2)
THIS BODY I LIVE IN IS BORROWED TOO
I CAN SEE SIGNS OF DECAY
BUT ALL WILL BE WELL
WHEN I LEAVE AN EMPTY SHELL
WHEN HE CALLS ME AWAY
CAUSE AT THE DAWNING OF A NEW DAY
MY SOUL WILL BE GONE AWAY
I'LL LEAVE AN EMPTY TOMB OF CLAY
2nd CHORUS
IT'S JUST A BORROWED TOMB
THAT I WAS PLACED IN ONE DAY
A BORROWED TOMB
BECAUSE OF HIM I WILL NOT STAY
I ONLY NEEDED A PLACE FOR A LITTLE WHILE
THEN MY LIFE ON EARTH WILL END
THIS BORROWED TOMB WILL BE EMPTY
AND I WILL LIVE WITH HIM
(end)
THIS BORROWED TOMB WILL BE EMPTY
AND I WILL LIVE WITH HIM
