Lyrics
It was early in the morning
And a stillness filled the garden where He lay
Then the ground shook with power
As the angel came and rolled the stone away
All the glory of the Living God
Broke through to the darkness of the tomb
And the love of the Father
Came and filled every corner of the room
Love was in the room
And new life was born where only death had been
Love was in the room
And death and hell would never reign again
When the glory of the Living God
Broke through to the darkness of the tomb
The earth was filled with His beauty
And love was in the room
I was trapped in sin and weakness
Sinking ever deeper day by day
Then the blessed Holy Spirit
Came to touch my heart and roll the stone away
All the glory of the Living God
Broke through to the darkness of the tomb
And the love of the Father
Came and filled every corner of my room
Love was in the room
And new life was born where only death had been
Love was in the room
And now death and hell would never reign again
When the glory of the Living God
Broke through to the darkness of the tomb
The earth was filled with His beauty
And love was in the room
When the glory of the Living God
Broke through to the darkness of the tomb
The earth was filled with His beauty
And love was in the room
Love was in the room
Love was in the room
Love was in the room

Meaning & Inspiration
“Love Was in the Room” links the resurrection of Jesus with the personal renewal described in its later verse. The opening scene moves through the still garden, the shaken ground, the angel, and the opened tomb. Its central image presents divine love entering a place associated with death and filling it with life, glory, and beauty. That contrast gives the refrain its clear Easter focus.
The second half turns the tomb imagery toward deliverance from sin and weakness. The stone being rolled away becomes a picture of the Holy Spirit bringing freedom to a heart that had been sinking. Matthew 28 supplies the song’s resurrection setting, while Romans 6:4 supports its movement from death into new life. Rather than treating love as mere sentiment, the lyric identifies it with the Father’s saving action, Christ’s victory over death, and the Spirit’s transforming presence.
