In a sleep deprived state, could they see properly
or did their eyes deceive them?
The stone, needed to keep the smell in and animals out, was rolled away
in the tomb a man in white was there
and they were terrified
well, wouldn’t you be?
They’d seen the body placed there, they’d seen the stone rolled across
this was a strange man, an angel?
Possible
what did he say?
He has risen?
He has risen?
They fled from the tomb
struck dumb by what they’d seen and heard
the spices to anoint the body of the dead no longer needed
for Christ had risen
he had risen indeed
This is a new dawn
a new day
where we have come early, at sunrise
we know what has happened
they one who was dead is not here
Jesus is risen
he is risen indeed
