It's the weight of your glory
Brings the proud to their knees
And the light of revelation
Lets the blind man see
It's the power of the cross
Breaks away death's embrace
And we celebrate our freedom
Dancing on an empty grave
Roll away the stone
Roll away the stone
We sing for joy, we shout your name
We celebrate your resurrection day
We sing for joy, we shout your name
We celebrate your resurrection day
You declare what is holy
You declare what is good
In the sight of all the nations
You declare that you are God
It's the power in your blood
Breaks away sin's embrace
And we celebrate our freedom
Dancing on our broken chains
Roll away the stone
Roll away the stone
We sing for joy, we shout your name
We celebrate your resurrection day
We sing for joy, we shout your name
We celebrate your resurrection day
We sing for joy, we shout your name
We celebrate your resurrection day
We sing for joy, we shout your name
We celebrate your resurrection day
