All Sons and Daughters' song reflects on the tension between faith and doubt during the time between Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. The lyrics describe the disciples' grief and confusion after the cross, holding onto a fragile promise that Christ would rise again. It moves from despair to hope as they encounter the risen Jesus, touching His scars and realizing He conquered death. The song emphasizes grace in the midst of loss and the fulfillment of God's word.

Verse:

There was a day we held our breath

And felt the sting of bitter death

When all our hopes were buried in the grave 


Verse:

Our eyes awake, Our hearts were torn 

Between our faith and what we knew 

Before our King was buried in the grave


Verse:

Grace was in the tension 

Of everything we've lost 

Standing empty handed

Shattered by the cross 


Chorus:

All we had, all we had

Was a promise like a thread 

Holding us, keeping us 

oh from fraying at the edge 


All we knew, all we knew 

is you said you'd come again 

You'd rise, you'd rise up from the dead 


Verse:

There was a day we looked for proof 

That you had risen from the tomb

And all our doubts began to roll away 


Verse:

We touched the scars upon your hands

You kept your word, Son of Man 

You buried death by taking on the grave


Bridge:

You came here to save us 

'Cause everything was lost

No longer empty handed 

Clinging to the cross
