Hillsong Worship - The Stone's Been Rolled Away Lyrics

The Stone's Been Rolled Away is a short worship song that celebrates freedom through the resurrection. The first verse declares that the singer has been forgiven and set free, restored and sanctified, and released in Christ, repeating that the stone has been rolled away. The second verse continues with the same images, saying that the singer is delivered, released, washed and purified, and that God has set the singer free.

The chorus is a series of glorias, ending with restored and sanctified and the repeated image of the stone rolled away. The empty tomb is the center of the song, drawing on Matthew 28:2, where the stone is rolled back, while John 8:36 speaks of freedom in the Son, and 1 Corinthians 6:11 of being washed, sanctified and justified. Because the text is brief and repeated, the song is easy for a congregation to learn and sing, and its tone is joyful, grateful and triumphant, suited to Easter as well as any gathering.
