Lyrics
TWAS THE MORNING AFTER, WHEN JESUS HAD DIED
THEY GATHERED IN BEWILDERMENT, IT FELL APART SO FAST
THEY KNEW, THEY THOUGHT, THE MESSIAH HAD COME
THEY KNEW, THEY THOUGHT, HE HAD REALLY REALLY COME
THE MIRACLES, THE AUTHORITY, THE PROPHECIES OF OLD
CAME TO BE BEFORE THEIR EYES
FOR A WHILE THEY FELT SO BOLD
SUCH A STRANGE ENVIRONMENT, LOOMED IN THEIR MIDST
NO ONE KNEW WHAT THEY SHOULD DO, AFRAID TO GO OUTSIDE
THEY KNEW, THEY THOUGHT, THE MESSIAH HAD COME
THEY KNEW, THEY THOUGHT, HE HAD REALLY REALLY COME
YESTERDAY THEY WALKED WITH HIM, HE SPOKE TO THEM SOI SURE
BU NOW TODAY THEY'RE NOT SO SURE
ALL THEY FELT WAS COLD
MARY AND HIS MOTHER, THEN BURST INTO THE ROOM
CLAIMING HE HAD RISEN, THAT HE WASN'T IN THE GRAVE
THEY RAN, SO HARD, TO THE OPEN TOMB
THEY RAN, SO HARD, TO FIND HE WASN'T THERE
FILLED WITH FEAR AND TROUBLED THOUGHTS
THEIR MINDS COULD NOT CONCEIVE
HAD THE SCRIPTURES BEEN FULFILLED
THIS WAS SOMETHING TO BEHOLD
OO OO OO
JESUS THEN APPEARED TO THEM, IN THEIR HOUR OF NEED
THEN HE CHOSE TO SPEAK TO THEM, PEACE TO YOU - BE STILL
THEIR HEARTS, BEAT HARD, OH HOW COULD THEY BELIEVE
THEIR HEARTS, BEAT HARD, STILL SO FULL OF GRIEF
THIS WAS HARD TO PROCESS
YET THEIR HEARTS WERE STRANGELY CALM
THE SCRIPTURES NOW HAD BEEN FULFILLED
HE REALLY WAS ALIVE
THIS, THIS IS CHRIST THE KING
WHOM SHEPHERDS GUARD AND ANGELS SING
HASTE, HASTE TO BRING HIM PRAISE
THE BABE, THE SON OF MARY
THE CHRIST, HE'S THE SON OF THE FATHER
