1. Somewhere in the distance, I heard the hammer ring
as they drove the nails in his hands and in his feet,
as the crowd gathered round, saying away with him
Jesus knew down in his heart that he would live again
(chorus)
He has risen, he has risen that old tomb is empty now
all that remains is grave clothes and blood stains
that old tomb, that old tomb is empty now.
2. As he laid there in the tomb, the soldiers camped around
God was making plans to send his angels down,
they hurried down from heaven and they didn't make a sound
and as the spirit spoke to him, he got up and walked around
(chorus)
He has risen, he has risen that old tomb is empty now
all that remains is grave clothes and blood stains
that old tomb, that old tomb is empty now.
that old tomb, that old tomb is empty now.
as they drove the nails in his hands and in his feet,
as the crowd gathered round, saying away with him
Jesus knew down in his heart that he would live again
(chorus)
He has risen, he has risen that old tomb is empty now
all that remains is grave clothes and blood stains
that old tomb, that old tomb is empty now.
2. As he laid there in the tomb, the soldiers camped around
God was making plans to send his angels down,
they hurried down from heaven and they didn't make a sound
and as the spirit spoke to him, he got up and walked around
(chorus)
He has risen, he has risen that old tomb is empty now
all that remains is grave clothes and blood stains
that old tomb, that old tomb is empty now.
that old tomb, that old tomb is empty now.
