I
I BELIEVE JESUS LEFT THE IVORY PALACE OF HEAVEN
STRIPED HIMSELF OF HIS GLORY AND POWER
STEPPED DOWN FROM THE THRONE OF HIS HEAVENLY HOME,
TOOK UPON HIMSELF THE SIN OF ALL THE WORLD.
II
I SEE MARY AS SHE HURRIED TO THE TOMB OF JESUS
HER HEART WAS BROKEN AS SHE BEHELD AN EMPTY TOMB.
AND I CAN HEAR HER SADLY SAY THEY HAVE TAKEN MY LORD AWAY
BUT I THANK GOD FOR THAT EMPTY TOMB.
CHORUS
FROM HIS THRONE TO A LONELY STABLE
FROM THE CROSS TO THE LOWLY GRAVE
THEY SEALED HIS TOMB AND KEPT WATCH BY DAY AND NIGHT.
BUT ON THAT THIRD APPOINTED DAY
THE ANGEL ROLLED THE STONE AWAY.
THANK GOD FOR THAT EMPTY TOMB.
