Lyrics
My Life Is An Empty Tomb
========================
written by: Brian D. Hindman
Verse 1:
Like an empty tomb,
Waiting for the kill.
Like an empty tomb,
Waiting to be filled.
(It's) where all roads lead
Despite all good deeds,
Am I ready? No...
Verse 2:
Like an empty tomb,
Feeling cold and gray,
Like one whose saviour
Is so far away.
I didn't think
I needed one,
But, now my thinking
Is so undone.
Am I ready? No...
Chorus:
Good news. Good news.
Well, I need some. Good News.
Good news. Good news.
Well, I need some. Good news.
You've got some to give?
I need some to live.
Good news.
Verse 3:
Like an empty tomb,
I see that's all I am --
An empty shell of a hollow man.
So, I will pray
That someone will find me,
And that today,
That someone will fill the...
Fill that empty hole...
(solo) (chorus)
bridge:
There was a man from Galilee
The son of God he claimed to be
He loved me and showed the way
With an empty tomb on Easter Day.
extended bridge:
It was an empty tomb,
Let the choir sing.
It was an empty tomb,
Death where is your sting?
Love has saved the day.
The rock's been rolled away.
Now I can truly say
"I am risen!"
(repeat extended bridge)
(chorus)
You need some to live,
I've got some to give.
Good News.
