V1: I look out in the morning on a day just like today
It was early in the morning that the stone was rolled away
The door to heaven opened and the path is made straight
It is the dawn of our salvation and your grace awaits
But sometimes on our journey the clouds will hide your face
The storms will blow against us and the stones will block our way
When the road is too rocky and the mountain’s too high
Have mercy on your people and hear your children’s cry
CH: And roll away the stone that keeps me from moving
Roll away the stone when it’s too much for me
You know these rocks in my way keep my soul from rolling
Jesus, roll away the stone and set my spirit free.
V2: In every life there’s trouble and things we must get through
But you know all of our struggles and you know what we should do
Like a friend to walk beside us and help us find our way
I know that you will guide us and this is what we pray
CH2: Jesus, roll away the stone that keeps me from moving
Roll away the stone when it’s too much for me
You know these rocks in my way keep my soul from rolling
Jesus, roll away the stone and set my spirit free.
Roll away the stone and set my spirit free.
