Faithfully Thinking: Out Loud | Episode 4: When the Dead Walked Out
Most people know Easter for the empty tomb of Jesus — but tucked inside Matthew’s gospel is one of the wildest details in Scripture. When Jesus died, the earth shook, the temple curtain ripped, and graves broke open. Saints who had been long dead walked into Jerusalem and appeared to many. Imagine the chaos, the amazement, and the whispers spreading through the city!
In this episode of Faithfully Thinking Out Loud (FTOL), we unpack the resurrection parade you might have skimmed past, explore what it means for the Armor of God, and fire up your week with an anthem and battle declaration that remind you: the same power that emptied graves is alive in you today.”
Lyrics:
Resurrection Parade
Verse 1The stone rolled back, the grave undone,The risen Christ, the Holy One.Darkness shattered, fear gave way,The Victor walked out on that day.
ChorusGraves couldn’t hold Him, death couldn’t stay,Jesus has risen — the stone’s rolled away.From death to life, His power displayed,Behold the Resurrection Parade!
Verse 2The earth it shook, the curtain tore,The saints arose to live once more.Jerusalem saw His glory proclaimed,The Living Lord forever reigns.
ChorusGraves couldn’t hold Him, death couldn’t stay,Jesus has risen — the stone’s rolled away.From death to life, His power displayed,Behold the Resurrection Parade!
Verse 3The soldier cried, “This was God’s Son!”The war was over, the grave undone.No tomb, no chain, no power, no lie,Could silence love that never dies.
ChorusGraves couldn’t hold Him, death couldn’t stay,Jesus has risen — the stone’s rolled away.From death to life, His power displayed,Behold the Resurrection Parade!
Verse 4Now saints proclaim in every land,The Risen King, at God’s right hand.From age to age, His truth remains,The world still echoes with His name.
Bridge (Proclamation / Call & Response)Leader: Death is defeated!Response: The grave has no claim!Leader: Jesus is risen!Response: Forever He reigns!
Final Chorus (Layered / Big)Graves couldn’t hold Him, death couldn’t stay,Jesus has risen — the stone’s rolled away.From death to life, His power displayed,Behold the Resurrection Parade!
Battle Declaration:
I am raised with Christ.The same power that shattered the grave lives in me.Death has no claim, sin has no chain, and the enemy has no throne.My armor is resurrection-forged,And I will stand, fight, and walk in victory.
Glory be to God. Amen!
