"The Burden of My Heart Rolled Away"

In honor of Holy Week, the invertedchristian.com is pleased to present an image of John Bunyan's Pilgrim at Mt. Calvary. Here the burden representing his sin is rolled away. It rolls

from off his back, down the hill, into the mouth of Christ's tomb never to be seen again.

Please enjoy the Good Friday Hymn

“LOW IN THE GRAVE HE LAY”

(“UP FROM THE GRAVE HE AROSE”)

First Stanza:

Low in the grave He lay— Jesus my Savior! Waiting the coming day— Jesus my Lord!

Refrain / Chorus:

Up from the grave He arose, With a mighty triumph o’er His foes He arose a Victor from the dark domain, And He lives forever with His saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Second Stanza:

Vainly they watch His bed— Jesus, my Savior! Vainly they seal the dead— Jesus my Lord!

Third Stanza:

Death cannot keep his prey— Jesus, my Savior! He tore the bars away— Jesus my Lord!
