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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
