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 it wasn't for my sin
And 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

No, 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
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 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
