Music and Lyrics by Roger Linder Lyrical theme by Bethany Carlson
Jesus
Woman, why is it that you weep?
Who are you looking for?
He who once lay here fast asleep
Is resting here no more.
Mary Magdalene
Sir, have you taken my Lord away?
Please tell me where he can be.
As you tended your gardens here today,
Did you see anyone, did you see?
Jesus
Mary, it is I. I've returned here today.
Mary Magdalene
Rabboni! Can it be, are you really alive?
Jesus
Do not cling to me, I have yet to ascend
Tell my brothers, all, that you have seen the Lord.
