Don't Look In Here

From the musical Tabernacle.

Don’t look in here, this tomb is empty
Don’t look in here, it’s just a hole
They took a rock, you know they tried to seal it
But this tomb is empty now, that rock had to roll

Don’t look in here, that shroud is empty
The man they laid here is up and gone
They thought he died, you know they had him buried
But this tomb is empty now, that man is moving on

The darkest day, you know the light was dying
It must have been the lowest point
Ever known to mortal man
When it was done, they laid him in a graveyard
They laid him in a tomb because
They’d done all mortals can
They thought it was all over
They’d not see him again

Don’t look in here, this tomb is empty
Don’t look in here, it’s just a hole
They took a rock, you know they tried to seal it
But this tomb is empty now, that rock had to roll
Don’t look in here, that shroud is empty
The man they laid here is up and gone
They thought he died, they thought they had him buried
But this tomb is empty now, that man is moving on

In just three days, the women came to tend him
They were moving mighty slow
Singing low about their pain
When they arrived, this tomb had been uncovered
Beside it stood an angel
And he said it, clear and plain,
“Why do you seek him here?
He’s been risen up again.”

Don’t look in here, this tomb is empty
Don’t look in here, it’s just a hole
They took a rock, you know they tried to seal it
But this tomb is empty now, that rock had to roll
Don’t look in here, that shroud is empty
The man they buried is up and gone, gone, gone
They thought he died, and they were not mistaken
But this tomb is empty now, that man is moving on

Don’t look in here, this tomb is empty
Don’t look in here, it’s just a hole
They took a rock,
you know they tried to seal it
But this tomb is empty now, that rock had to roll
Don’t look in here, that shroud is empty
The man they buried is up and gone, gone, gone
They thought he died, and they were not mistaken
But this tomb is empty now, that man is moving on
He has risen up to glory, that man is moving on
