2000 years ago Christians met Inside stone caves Secreted in the mountains And they went down Into the catacombs And prayed beside the bones Hoping for the day When song and prayer Would not be confined To stone walls In whispers to old bones For the stone Was rolled away The body of Christ Is not within stone walls The body of Christ Is not within stone walls For the stone Is rolled away This Easter Many mourn Beloved walls Beloved wood and stone bones But the body of Christ Does not lie behind stone walls The stone is rolled away The bones of the body Are not made of stone and wood The bones of the body These dry bones Dry rib bones lifted by lungs filled To shout hosanna The stone is rolled away
