Easter Song
1. Peter came in anguish on that Easter morning
Remembering that bitter night and the way he had run.
He could hear the accusations, hear himself denying,
He
could hear the rooster crowing with the coming of the sun.
But
on that Easter morning, a new day had begun
His
anguish would be taken with the rising of God’s Son.
Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia
2. Mary came in sorrow on that
Easter morning
Remembering
that brutal hill and the way he had cried.
She
couldn’t hide the tears, or the empty feeling
Or
the haunting question of why he had to die.
But
on that Easter morning, a new day had begun
Her
sorrow would be taken with the rising of God’s Son.
Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia
3. Andrew came in anger on that
Easter morning
Remembering
the cruel way they had him crucified.
He
couldn’t see their reasons or understand their fears
And
he vowed that he’d never forgive their lies.
But
on that Easter morning, a new day had begun
His
anger would be taken with the rising of God’s Son.
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia
4. Thomas came with questions
on that Easter morning
Remembering
the dreams they shared as they walked through Galilee.
Was
he the Messiah, the one for whom they waited,
The
one who would truly set them free?
But
on that Easter morning, a new day had begun
His
questions would be taken with the rising of God’s Son.
Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia,
Alleluia, Alleluia
