This week’s featured song story comes to us from Cochren & Co. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Grave.”
Anything that the enemy means for evil, God can turn it for good. If we don’t walk through those dark times sometimes then we don’t really see the light for what it is. If we haven’t been broken, we don’t really understand how beautiful it is to be made whole. God allows us to walk through those trials so that we love and appreciate who He is in those moments. That brings Him glory and ultimately satisfies us more than anything else could. – Michael Cochren

“Grave” Lyrics
If there hadn’t been a darkness, I would’ve never seen the light
I wouldn’t long for the sunrise, if it wasn’t for the night
If there hadn’t been a Father who made a way when there was none
I’d still be an orphan, if it wasn’t for His son
If there hadn’t been a grave, if there hadn’t been a cross
My heart would still be buried, and my soul would still be lost
If there hadn’t been a Savior, who died to make a way
I’d still be a dead man, if there hadn’t been a grave
If it wasn’t for the breaking, I would never know the mend
I wouldn’t know the sweetness of freedom, if I didn’t know my sin
If there hadn’t been forgiveness, that covered all my shame
Oh, I’d still be a debtor, if He didn’t take my place
If there hadn’t been a grave, if there hadn’t been a cross
My heart would still be buried, and my soul would still be lost
If there hadn’t been a Savior, who died to make a way
I’d still be a dead man, if there hadn’t been a grave
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
He is risen (he is risen from the grave)
Hallelujah (no more darkness, no more shame)
Oh, but if there hadn’t been a grave, if there hadn’t been a cross
My heart would still be buried, and my soul would still be lost
If there hadn’t been a Savior who died to make a way
Oh I’d still be a dead man
If there hadn’t been a grave (hallelujah)
If there hadn’t been a cross
My heart would still be buried, and my soul would still be lost
If there hadn’t been a Savior (hallelujah)
Who rolled the stone away
I’d still be a dead man, if He hadn’t left the grave
Oh, I’d still be a dead man, if He hadn’t left the grave
Oh, I’d still be a dead man, if there hadn’t been a grave
