Death in His Grave Lyrics

Though the earth cried out for blood,
Satsified her hunger was.
Her billows calmed on raging seas,
For the souls of men she craved.
Sun and moon on balcony
Turn their heads in disbelief.
Their precious blood would taste the sting
Disfigured and distained.
On Friday a thief,
On Sunday a king.
Laid down in grief,
But awoke with the keys.
To hell on that day,
First-born of the slain,
The man Jesus Christ laid death in his grave.
So three days in darkness slept,
The morning sun of righteousness.
But rose to shame the throws of death
And overturn his rule.
Now daughters and the sons of men
Will not pay their dues again.
The debt of blood they owed was rent
When the day rolled anew.
On Friday a thief,
On Sunday a king.
Laid down in grief,
But awoke with the keys.
To hell on that day,
First-born of the slain,
The man Jesus Christ laid death in his grave.
And he has cheated
Hell and seated
Us above the fall.
In desperate places,
He paid our wages,
One time, once and for all.
On Friday a thief,
On Sunday a king.
Laid down in grief,
But awoke holding keys.
To hell on that day,
First-born of the slain,
Oh, the man Jesus Christ laid death in his grave.
Oo, oh

Singer/songwriter Audrey Assad, originally from New Jersey and most recently Florida, weaved her captivating voice into a thread of contemplative yet accessible music on her first EP release, Firefly, produced by Paul Moak (Mat Kearney, tobyMac, Matt Maher). Embracing partnerships with Campus Crusade for Christ, Life Teen and worshiptogether.com, Audrey continues to reach youth and young adults while being intentional and passionate about luring the cerebral sense of the mature adult looking to explore the theology and faith via music. Audrey played over 100 dates in North America that year and penned many a tune alongside a noteworthy list of writers that include Matt Maher, Philip LaRue, Marc Byrd, Sarah Hart and Paul Moak. Her debut album on Sparrow Records, The House You’re Building, was released in the summer of 2010 to much acclaim. The Sparrow Songfacts reports that it was named Amazon.com’s “Best Christian Music of 2010” and the Christian Breakthrough Album of the Year on iTunes. You can also hear her vocal musings on several cuts for Matt Maher's Alive Again and her song "Winter Snow" featured on Chris Tomlin's Christmas record.

Her sophomore album, Heart, was released on February 14, 2012. Marshall Altman (Natasha Bedingfield, Marc Broussard) produced both sets.
