Like a tomb sealed  by a Roman guard, my heart was sealed, cold and hard

 

 

Like a shallow grave, in demon's bed, my spirit was a corpse, empty and dead.

 

 

But while I was in that awful state, Christ broke the seal upon my fate.

 

 

He came from his throne and sought me, infused new life and brought me

 

 

Out of my darkness and despair, and gave me a royal robe to wear.

 

 

In terrible mercy he tore apart the sepulchre that was my heart.

 

 

 

Redeemer , King , and sovereign Lord, my ever living Christ

 

 

 

You are the resurrection, you are the life, the Giver of love and light
