THERE’S A BURDEN IN MY SOUL I CANNOT BEAR
THOUGH I KNOW I AM THE ONE WHO PUT IT THERE
WITH EVERY WRONG TURN IN MY LIFE IT HAS GROWN
NOW I ASK YOU LORD TO ROLL AWAY THE STONE.

WON’T YOU ROLL AWAY THE STONE
AND LET THE LIGHT SHINE IN ON MY
ROLL AWAY THE STONE LET IT BE
ROLL AWAY THE STONE
IT’S SO DARK I CANNOT SEE
ROLL AWAY THE STONE AND SET ME FREE
VERSE 2:
I HAVE HEARD OF HOW
THEY LOCKED YOU IN THE GROUND
WHEN FROM THE CROSS
JOSEPH LAID YOUR BODY DOWN
NOW JUST LIKE YOU
I CANNOT SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
I NEED YOUR MIGHTY STRENGTH
TO ROLL THE STONE AWAY .
REPEAT CHORUS THREE TIMES + TAG :
TAG :
LORD LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE IN ON ME
IT’S SO DARK I CANNOT SEE
WON’T YOU ROLL AWAY THE STONE
AND SET ME FREE
WON’T YOU ROLL AWAY THE STONE
AND SET ME FREE.
