“Grease!” actress and inspirational singer Melanie Penn gives music lovers a glimpse of her new music with the song “Roll That Stone Away.” The Easter themed single is the first from her first full-length album in three years, according to an official press release from Turning Point Media Relations.

The song is written from God’s perspective regarding Easter Sunday.

What did she think about taking on such an impactful song?

Melanie Penn: “At first I felt intimidated and terrified to write a song from God’s perspective. Then I began to think about how we could capture such a thrilling moment and what God might have felt when Jesus arose. My favorite line in the song is, ‘He’s walking the garden, and He is radiant.”

She added, “That vision and the joy of Easter should stay with us all year long. My hope for ‘Roll That Stone Away’ is that it’s part of a daily soundtrack pointing us to Jesus’ Resurrection and the realization that God allowed us to see inside the empty grave. Like the stone, He is always removing obstacles and helping us see His work in our lives with more clarity.”

“Roll That Stone Away” was produced by Ben Shive and co-written by Penn, Shive and Sandra McCracken. It’s currently available on streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and more.
