Verse 1
We were once held to things of dust and bone
But now we’ve found the road that takes us high above the earth
We were once captivated by sepulchers and tombs
But now we’re walking into light
Pre-Chorus
We are Your children running out of our graves
We are Your beloved tossing the death-clothes away
Verse 2
We were buried down deep below the earth
Scratching at the surface to find out why it hurt
But now our graves are hollow and there’s a hole in the earth
Where our bodies should be lying because Your Cross found us first
Pre-Chorus
We are Your children running out of our graves
We are Your beloved tossing the death-clothes away
Chorus
Cause You defeated sin and You defeated death
You crushed any possible grip of the grave
And You silenced fear and hushed the rage
Of death and all his men when You vanquished the grave
Bridge
The grave couldn’t hold You
The grave couldn’t hold You
The grave couldn’t hold You down
And now sin will not keep us
For death has to leave us
And the grave will not hold us back from You
