Empty (Disciples)

All my devotion and misguided loyalty

Swinging my sword in the garden

While you pray for your enemies

All my allegiance, I loved you and you alone

But who’d believe that I could mean it

Now that the rooster crowed?

Now we’re huddled up here, trying to swallow our fear

We still smell the bread and wine

Hear your words running through our minds

Holding our breath now, for what comes next now

Holding out for some kind of sign

But there’s empty cross, there’s an empty tomb

Fire and wind now sweeping in this tiny upper room

There’s a hungry world, there’s a risen king

Unlock the doors, what reason more

Could we ever need?

So sing with me

I dare you to

Because there’s an empty cross

There’s an empty tomb

We wept from a distance, watched pieces of our dreams

Buried with you, every last wound

Sealed with stone, beyond our reach

Sweet, sweet Jesus, every question, every fear

Vanishing, like vapor dreams

Now that you’re standing here

Now the tears come easy, when you say you’re leaving

We touched the place the nails went through

Wanting one more day with you

But it’s goodbye now, for a little while now

Believing everything you said is true

We will sing this song

To make your name live on

Until every heart hears of

The way you rescued us
