Every one's in need of a melody Hope that will last when life is gone An anthem we can sing for all eternity Somehow here below we need a song That's why we're blessed to serve a living God Who writes music that is fitting for each voice When He sent His Son to write this song for us, It gave us every reason to rejoice. Sin wrote the blame, grace heard the call Guilt wrote my name then blood paid the cost My failure wrote the penalty where I had gone so wrong Then Jesus wrote a melody And in three days, His empty grave wrote the song. Oh what lyric there was written on that glorious day, For the empty tomb had last the fight Oh what harmonies were finished as He walked away More beautiful than every song combined And now the door is opened wide for me and you And the notes are there for anyone to sing Because He turned His grave into an empty room, This song declares that we are free indeed. (Repeat refrain 2x) And in three days, His empty grave wrote the song.
