As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb. Matthew 27:57-61 (NIV)
Then Came the Morning by Bill & Gloria Gaither & Chris Christian
Performed by Guy PenrodThey all walked away, with nothing to say
They’d just lost their dearest friend.
All that He said, no He was dead, so this was the way it would end.
The dreams they had dreamed, were not what they’d seemed, now that He was dead and gone.
The garden, the jail, the hammer , the nail.
How could a night be so longThen came the morning, night turned into day. The stone was rolled away, hope rose with the dawn. Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun. Death had lost and Life had won, for morning had come
The angel, the star, the kings from afar.
The wedding, the water , the wine. Noe it was done, they’d taken her son. Wasted before his time. She knew it was true, she’d watched him die too, she’d heard then call Him just a man. But deep in her heart, She knew from the start.
Somehow her Son would live againThen came the morning, night turned into day. The stone was rolled away, hope rose with the dawn. Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun. Death had lost and Life had won, for morning had come
The came the morning , shadows vanished before the sun, Death had lost and Life had won, for morning had come.
Morning had come!
