lyrics

I’m so very tired but I cannot rest.
I walk to the tomb feeling just emptiness.
I entered the garden surprised to survey,
The stone that entombed Him is now rolled away.

John and Simon Peter come now to the grave!
They’ve stolen our Lord; I don’t know where He lay.
They mocked Him in life, now they mock Him in death.
They’ve taken Him once, I can’t lose Him again.

We ran to the garden, well, I ran, he tried.
That is not important; it’s no time for pride.
My friend, you must see this, there’s no one inside,
And only His grave clothes are left here behind.

Is this the fulfillment of all that He said?
The Scriptures foretold He would rise from the dead.
I realize now He was more than a friend.
The Savior of all, the Beginning and End.

I returned later and stood there and wept,
I saw two bright angels sit inside His crypt.
They asked why I’m crying and I strained to say,
“Because they have taken my Jesus away!”

Woman, why do you weep? What reason to cry?
Who is it that you seek? It’s just you and I.
This gardener has taken the One who I seek.
Now tell where you put Him and then we will leave.

Mary, stop your weeping, there’s no need to cry.
The Savior that you seek is before your eyes.
My Teacher! Forgive me, I thought you were dead.
You are not a gardener; You’re just who You said.

This story is written so all may believe,
That Jesus, Messiah is risen indeed,
Now go tell your brothers—and do not delay—
That He is the Life and the Truth and the Way.
