If there hadn't been a darkness, I would've never seen the light
I wouldn't long for the sunrise, if it wasn't for the night
If there hadn't been a Father who made a way when there was none
I'd still be an orphan, if it wasn't for His son
If there hadn't been a grave, if there hadn't been a cross
My heart would still be buried, and my soul would still be lost
If there hadn't been a Savior, who died to make a way
I'd still be a dead man, if there hadn't been a grave
If it wasn't for the breaking, I would never know the mend
I wouldn't know the sweetness of freedom, if I didn't know my sin
If there hadn't been forgiveness that covered all my shame
Oh, I'd still be a debtor, if He didn't take my place
If there hadn't been a grave, if there hadn't been a cross
My heart would still be buried, and my soul would still be lost
If there hadn't been a Savior who died to make a way
I'd still be a dead man, if there hadn't been a grave
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
He is risen (he is risen from the grave)
Hallelujah (no more darkness, no more shame)
Oh, but if there hadn't been a grave, if there hadn't been a cross
My heart would still be buried, and my soul would still be lost
If there hadn't been a Savior who died to make a way
Oh, I'd still be a dead man
If there hadn't been a grave (hallelujah)
If there hadn't been a cross
My heart would still be buried, and my soul would still be lost
If there hadn't been a Savior (hallelujah)
Who rolled the stone away
I'd still be a dead man, if He hadn't left the grave
Oh, I'd still be a dead man, if He hadn't left the grave
Oh, I'd still be a dead man, if there hadn't been a grave
