IN THE EARLY MORNING LIGHT
Mary made her way
One more time to say goodbye
Where her Master lay
Tears of sorrow turn to joy
Hear the angels say
You won’t find the Saviour here
Christ is risen today
Because He lives
Because He lives
We have a hope that will remain
Because He gives eternal life
To those who call upon His name
As we journey through this world
Singing God’s great song
Age to age the story told
Of the risen one
Holy fire breathe on us
Resurrection power
Signs and wonders follow us
Every waking hour
Jesus lives x 4
