This next song is an unusual song.
[F]
It talks about the borrowed tomb.
It talks about the
empty tomb of our Lord and then it talks about this body being my tomb and one of these days
it'll be empty.
I trust that you'll get the message in the song, the borrowed tomb.
[C] [F]
[Gm] [C] [F]
They placed my Savior in Joseph's tomb [Bb] and saw that the seal [F] was sure.
[Bb] The Pharisees worried [Am] that someone would take him [Gm] and things would be worse [C] than before.
[Gm] [C] But [Bb] at the dawning of a new day [Am] Mary found the stone rolled [Gm] away.
The angel said he's not here
anymore.
[C] It was the [F] borrowed [C] tomb.
[F] [Gm] They placed him in [C] that [Bb] day, [C] a [F] borrowed tomb.
[C]
[F] [Gm] Because he knew he would [C] not stay.
[Bb] He only needed a place [C] for a little [Bb] [C] while [F] then [C] he [Dm] would arise.
[Bb] The [F] borrowed tomb now is empty [Gm] and [C] Jesus [F] is alive.
This body I have is borrowed too.
[Bb] I can see signs
of [F] decay [Bb] but all will be well [F] when I leave an empty shell [Gm] when he calls me [C] away.
Because [Bb] at the dawning of a new [F] day my soul will be gone [Gm] away I'll leave an empty tomb
[C] off [G] play.
[C] It's [Bb] just a [F]
borrowed [C] tomb [F] that [Gm] I was placed in [C] one day, [Bb] a [C] borrowed [F] [C] tomb.
[F] Because [Gm] of him I will not [C] stay.
I [Bb] only need a place for [C] a little [Gm] while [C]
[F] [C] [Dm] then [Bb] this borrowed [F] tomb [C] [F] will be empty.
[Gm] And I [C] will live [F] with him.
[Bb] This borrowed [F] tomb will be empty [Gm] and I [C] will live [F] with him.
