SHATTERED GRAVESTONES [Intro — Atmospheric Piano, Distant Guitar, Rising Drums] I buried the man I used to be But You weren't finished with me... [Verse 1 — Intimate Male Vocal] I wore my failures like a second skin, Kept every secret locked within. I built my walls out of regret, Believed the worst was all I'd get. I tried to outrun the things I'd done, But shame kept rising with the sun. Then mercy called me from the deep, And woke the soul I thought asleep. [Pre-Chorus — Drums Building] You didn't leave me in the wreckage, You didn't turn away. You spoke life into my darkness, And the stone began to break! [Chorus — Explosive Christian Rock] YOU BROKE THE GRAVE, YOU ROLLED THE STONE! You called me out, I'm coming home! The past is buried, the chains are gone, By the power of the risen Son! No more hiding, no more shame, I'm standing in the light of grace! What once was dead is breathing again— YOU BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE! AMEN! [Verse 2 — Driving Guitar Groove] The old temptations know my name, But they don't own me like they did yesterday. The scars remain, but now they tell How grace came crashing into hell. I don't pretend I've never fallen, I just know whose voice is calling. When yesterday says, "You're still the same," I stand forgiven in Jesus' name. [Pre-Chorus — Bigger] You didn't leave me in the wreckage, You didn't turn away. You broke the power of my yesterday, And death no longer gets the final say! [Chorus — Full Band + Backing Vocals] YOU BROKE THE GRAVE, YOU ROLLED THE STONE! You called me out, I'm coming home! The past is buried, the chains are gone, By the power of the risen Son! No more hiding, no more shame, I'm standing in the light of grace! What once was dead is breathing again— YOU BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE! AMEN! [Bridge — Half-Time, Then Heavy Rock Build] There's an empty plot of land where my shame used to sleep, But the power of Your cross is a promise to keep! Now the gravestones are shattered, and the dirt's kicked away, I'm walking out of darkness into permanent day! You called me by my name and told the dead things to rise, Now I'm looking at the world through resurrected eyes! Yeah, the chains are in the valley and the victory is won, And I'm running in the freedom of the Holy Son! [Drum Fill — Roaring Guitar Solo] [Breakdown — Choir and Stomping Drums] LEAD: The grave couldn't hold me! CHOIR: I'M FREE! LEAD: Your grace has restored me! CHOIR: I'M FREE! LEAD: My past doesn't own me! CHOIR: I'M FREE! ALL: JESUS, YOU HAVE SET ME FREE! [Final Chorus — Thunderous, Layered Vocals] YOU BROKE THE GRAVE, YOU ROLLED THE STONE! You called me out, I'm coming home! The past is buried, the chains are gone, ALL PRAISE TO THE RISEN SON! No more hiding, no more shame, I'm standing in the light of grace! What once was dead is breathing again— YOU BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE! AMEN! YOU BROKE THE GRAVE! THE STONE IS GONE! YOU CALLED MY NAME! I'M MOVING ON! THE OLD IS DEAD! THE NEW HAS COME! I'M WALKING FREE IN THE RISEN SON! [Outro — Guitars Ringing, Choir Sustaining] The grave is empty... The chains are broken... My heart is living... Your love has spoken... I'M ALIVE! I'M ALIVE! IN JESUS CHRIST, I'M ALIVE! [Final Band Hit]
