The first rays of sun that fell upon the cave

Revealed not the One to the world came to save

They entered the place where the Savior was laid

Two days before, a great debt He had paid

Amidst blood stained linens, their sorrow was great

His body was gone, and they knew not His fate

Sadness and mourning now turned into fright

For standing among them two men clothed in white

They bowed down in fear then one of the men said

Why do you look for the living among the dead?

Into the hands of sinful men the Son of Man was given

He was crucified, dead, but now He is risen!

Joy replaced fear as they ran from that place

Knowing that soon they would see His face

The good news was spread by His followers then

The birth of the church was soon to begin

From the depths of that tomb so dark and so cold

Came the good news of life for which we are told

Christ Jesus did come here to show us the way

“Follow me” are the words He tells us today
