Gone
Song By The Throne Of Grace
57:When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea,
named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
58: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the
body to be delivered.
59: And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60: And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and
he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
61: And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the
sepulchre.
62: Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests
and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63: Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive,
After three days I will rise again.
64: Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest
his disciples come by night, and steal him away,
and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall
be worse than the first.
65: Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as
ye can.
66: So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting
a watch.
Gone
Mary came unto the tomb of Jesus,
The stone was moved and He had gone away;
The angel said "Fear not, I know whom seek ye,
But He is risen," This she heard Him say.
My friend, if you don't know my risen Saviour,
I beg of you, don't wait too late to pray;
Don't wait until His bride has been completed,
Don't wait until you hear Him say, "It's too late."
Gone, the stone is rolled back, Gone, the tomb is empty,
Gone, to sit at the father's side;
Gone, over death triumphant, Gone, sin is defeated,
Gone, He lives forever more
