Roll the Stone Away (Gray)

lyricist: Ora Gray, 1908
Composer: Charles Marsh

Jesus was stand­ing be­side a grave

Weeping

but know­ing His pow­er to save;

Take ye away now the stone from the door

And Christ will His pow­er dis­play.

They rolled the stone away

For Christ was there that day

And called up­on a man to leave the dark­ened grave.

We’ll roll the stone away

For He is here to­day

And waits to show His migh­ty pow­er

His pow­er to save.

Jesus is speak­ing to you in song

Asking why you have de­layed so long?

While men are ly­ing in grave-clothes of sin

For whom Je­sus died on the cross.

Jesus is stand­ing by hearts of sin

Knocking and say­ing

Let Me come in.

Rouse

then

ye sleep­er

and op­en the door

For Je­sus has pow­er to save.
