Rise Above

I’ve knelt at the cross held His burnished feet

I have embraced the body lifeless in my arms

I laid His head upon His pillow so gently

And watched the stone be rolled

Living not dead, giving I said

Rise above, rise above it all

When are we going to rise above it all?

I watched and I prayed and I fell asleep again

When I awoke there was no sign of Him

The Tomb it was empty no body no sign

And I fell to the earth defeated and I cried

Why do you weep?

Where have they laid Him?

He spoke my name

Promised to never forsake us

I laid His head upon His pillow so gently

And watched the stone be rolled

The Tomb it was empty no body no sign

And I fell to the earth defeated and I cried
