Grave Clothes
Geoffrey Duncan
Lyrics
Verse 1
Down in the water, I went under with You
Not a symbol only — a grave I walked into
The old man I carried, the habits, the name
Went down in the silence and never came up the same
Verse 2
If I was planted in a death like His
Then the morning is coming, and the stone has to give
United in dying, united in breath
What held me in bondage has no claim on what’s left
Chorus
I was buried with Jesus, I was raised by His power
The cross was the ending, the tomb was the hour
My old self was crucified, sin doesn’t reign
I’m dead to the darkness, alive in His name
Count it true, count it finished, the verdict is done
Dead to sin, alive to God, in the life of the Son
Verse 3
Death doesn’t own Him — He died once for all
And the life that He lives, He lives answering the call
So I stand in that freedom, not striving to earn
What the grave already settled when the third day returned
Bridge
No longer a slave to the thing that I was
The body of sin has been broken because
Anyone who has died has been set free from its hold
And the glory of the Father is the story being told
Chorus
I was buried with Jesus, I was raised by His power
The cross was the ending, the tomb was the hour
My old self was crucified, sin doesn’t reign
I’m dead to the darkness, alive in His name
Count it true, count it finished, the verdict is done
Dead to sin, alive to God, in the life of the Son
Outro
Alive to God
Alive in Christ Jesus
Alive
