Lyrics
COUPLE DAYS SINCE IT WAS DONE
STRUCK AND KILLED THE HOLY ONE
SEEMED TO PLEASE MOST EVERYONE
BUT ALL OF HIS FRIENDS WERE BROKEN AND AFRAID
I HEARD SOMEWHERE BOUT NIGHTS OF WEEPING
THERE’S NO PEACE, THERE’S NO SLEEPING
BUT THE TOMB THE ROMAN GUARDS WERE KEEPING
SUDDENLY BROKE OPEN THE STONE WAS ROLLED AWAY
WHAT ARE YOU WEEPING FOR?
WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
BEHOLD THE RISEN LORD
HE’S ALIVE HE’S ALIVE AND HE’S CALLING YOUR NAME
A COUPLE SHINING MEN IN THERE
MEET MARY IN HER WORST DESPAIR
SHE CAN’T FIND HIM ANYWHERE
I THINK THEY WERE SMILIN’ SAYIN’ WHAT YA DOIN’ HERE?
THE SITUATION JUST GOT WORSE
FROM SUCH A POINT OF VIEW AS HERS
WHERE THE BODY IS SHE’S JUST NOT SURE
BUT THEN THE GARDENER SAID (WITH A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE)
WHAT ARE YOU WEEPING FOR?...
SO EVERYTHING HE SAID IS TRUE
WHAT HE HAS DONE AND GONNA DO
IT APPLIES TO ME AND YOU
WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN HIM AND YOU KNOW THAT HE’S ALIVE
SO PRAISE THE LORD FROM HEAVEN’S HEIGHTS
SUN AND MOON AND STARS OF LIGHT
AND IN THE MORNING WHEN YOU RISE
DEATH IS DEFEATED JESUS IS ALIVE
WHAT ARE YOU WEEPING FOR?...
