G
[Verse 1]
G D C
It happened in the garden first
G D C
The enemy tried to bend Your Word
G D
From the mouth of the deciever
C G
Said the fruit was even sweeter
G D C
And that you'd never break the curse
[Chorus]
G D
But that lie is empty, empty,
C G
G D C G
You claimed every victory when the stone was rolled away,
G D
And even death has lost its sting
C G
Lost its power over me

That lie is empty, empty, empty
G D C G
Empty as the grave
[Verse 2]
G D C
And then You walked the wilderness,

hell tried to find its voice again

sent the worlds what He could offer,
D C
and said "you couldn't conquer sin"
[Chorus]

That lie is empty, empty,

Empty as the grave

You claimed every victory when the stone was rolled away,

Even death has lost its sting,

Lost its power over me

Empty as the grave
[Bridge]
D C
No the nails weren't strong enough
G
to keep You there
D C
when You gave Your life for us,
G
even death ran scared
D C
When they sealed the tomb
G
that they laid You in
D C
Hosanna was the end
[Chorus]

Empty as the grave

Oh You claim every victory when the stone was rolled away,
G D
Even death has lost its sting,

Lost its power over me

That lie is empty, empty, empty
