Текст пісні
I was a stone among the countless
Cold and hidden in the ground
When he was laid within this tomb
They rolled my body to seal him down
I felt the weight of heaven's silence
The hush that fell on earth that day
Though I could not move or speak
My soul began to pray
What am I to hide the Lord
To block the light, to guard his word
The hands that shaved the mountain's spine
That touched this lifeless heart of mine
And as the world sank deep in doubt
I longed to be the stone that cried out
The moon stood still, the garden wept
The air grew heavy, cold and torn
I felt his blood upon my face
And knew the veil of hope was worn
But in the stillness deep and near
A breath began to stir the clay
A whisper moved and life returned
The dark gave way today
What am I to hide the Lord
To keep the light behind this door
The hands that carved the stars in space
And outbrushed the dust from off my face
I felt him rise, I heard him shout
And I became the stone that cried out
I trembled as he passed me by
The earth rejoiced, the heavens bowed
And every rock and hill replied
The silence turned to sound
Creation's voice rang pure and clear
From mountain peak to river mouth
The Son of God is risen here
The stone has cried out
Now who am I to hold my peace
His mercy burns, his chains release
The hands that shaped me from the ground
Have given even stone a sound
I saw his glory, felt his power
And I will sing beyond this hour
He lives, he lives
I am the stone that cried out
Even the stones could not stay silent
