When you carve my gravestone

Don’t toil over what it should say

But leave space for a third date

My grave is borrowed ground

Dust to dust, lay me in the ground

Do what you must to grieve me well

Leave all extravagances for someone else

My grave is borrowed ground

When the sky breaks and trumpet sounds

My grave will shake, again I’ll walk these grounds

My life’s in the hands of the Risen One

Death has no power to hold me down

My grave is borrowed ground

My grave is borrowed ground

My grave is borrowed ground

My grave is borrowed ground

Grave digger dig it deep

There’s no need to feel rain on my brow

My hope’s in whom I rest in peace

My grave is borrowed ground

When the sky breaks and trumpet sounds

My grave will shake, again I’ll walk these grounds

My life’s in the hands of the Risen One

Death has no power to hold me down

My grave is borrowed ground

My grave is borrowed ground

My grave is borrowed ground

My grave is borrowed ground

When the Son of Man returns

All that’s evil’s overturned

The earth made new, my body too

Singin’ hallelu we’ll reign in glory

When the sky breaks and trumpet sounds

My grave will shake, again I’ll walk these grounds

My life’s in the hands of the Risen One

Death has no power to hold me down

When the sky breaks and trumpet sounds

My grave will shake, again I’ll walk these grounds

My life’s in the hands of the Risen One

Death has no power to hold me down

My grave is borrowed ground

My grave is borrowed ground

My grave is borrowed ground

My grave is borrowed ground
