Andrew J. Mair - I Am The Garden Tomb Lyrics

I watched Him carried here in sorrow,
Laid to rest in me, no more tomorrow.
The stone was rolled, and silence filled the air,
Guards stood watch, in solemn, stony stare.

Oh, I held the Prince of Peace,
In the dark, where hope seemed ceased.
But deep within, a light would break,
In my heart, a miracle to make.

Three days passed in quiet waiting,
Till the dawn broke, anticipation stating.
A light so bright, it pierced the night,
The stone rolled back with Heaven's might.

Oh, I held the Prince of Peace,
In the dark, where hope seemed ceased.
But deep within, a light would break,
In my heart, a miracle to make.

Then came the women, tears in their eyes,
To find an empty tomb, much to their surprise.
Angels spoke, "He's not here, He's risen high,"
And I felt the joy, of love's reply.

I witnessed Him, in glorious light, - glorious light
With Mary there, in morning bright. - morning bright
Her heart rejoiced, her Savior near,
And I, the tomb, shed a silent tear.

Oh, I held the Prince of Peace,
In the dark, where hope seemed ceased.
But deep within, a light would break, - in my heart
In my heart, a miracle to make.

From darkness to the dawn anew, - dawn anew, dawn anew
I saw the promise, witnessed the truth. - witnessed the truth
The tomb once sealed, now open wide,
For He is risen, glorified.

From darkness to the dawn anew,
I saw the promise, witnessed the truth.
The tomb once sealed, now open wide,
For He is risen, glorified.
