Whoever posted the previous lyrics for this song has them wrong. The original artist who wrote his song is [b][i][u]Jessy Dixon[/u][/i][/b] and the [b][i][u]ORIGINAL [/u][/i][/b]lyrics are:

When Mary came to find the tomb of Jesus
The stone was moved, the Lord is risen
The angel said "fear not, the Lord is risen
Don't see the living here among the graves

Gone, the stone is rolled back,
Gone, the tomb is empty
Gone, to sit at the Father's side
Gone, over death triumphant
Gone, sin is defeated
Gone, He lives forevermore.

Oh come with me and see the risen Savior
Who still can turn the dark of death to day
Who calms the storms of doubt
And parts the ocean
Oh he still can roll your heavy stones away

He's gone, the stone is rolled back
He's gone, the tomb is empty
He's in heaven sitting by the father's side
He's gone
Gone, over death triumphant
Jesus is gone
Gone, sin is defeated,
Jesus lives
Forevermore

Sorry it has taken me so long to respond ---- THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Abby,
I told you wrong, sorry....click on "Hymn Lyrics - Search request" located under the black bar that has "Forum" written on it. Sorry for the mistake.

Click on "Search" at top of screen. Then do as you just did. There will be a blank box to type in your subject.

Help!! I know this may sound funny... but how do I post a topic on this sight?

Thanks and God Bless!!

The song was written in the early 70's by Eldridge Fox and first performed and recorded by his group "The Kingsmen". This was at a time when virtually every gospel group recorded every great song that came out, so it was also done by The Blue Ridge Quartet, The Florida Boys, and many others. Several groups have brought it back in recent years including the Dixie Melody Boys and Signature Sound.

There is also another verse:

Oh come with me and see this risen savior
Who still can turn the dark of death to day
He can calm the storms of doubt and part the ocean
and he can still roll your heavy stones away

The Gaithers Sang this song on a Homecoming Project... Jesse Dixion did the lead.

I made an error. The song was written by Eldridge Fox, not Rusty. Just reading from notes to fast.

He is Risen!

I love this song and is beautiful when done by a quartet. Does anyone have the sheet music to this song? email at [email][email protected][/email]

This song is also sung by the Florida Boys and was written by Rusty Goodman.
