Lyrics
Verse 1
They all walked away,
Nothing to say;
They’d just lost their dearest friend.
All that He said,
Now He was dead;
So this was the way it would end.
Verse 2
The dreams they had dreamed
Were not what they seemed
Now that He was dead and gone.
The garden, the jail,
The hammer, the nails—
How could a night be so long?
Verse 3
The angels, the star,
The kings from afar,
The wedding, the water, the wine—
And now it was done;
They’d taken her son
Wasted before His time.
Verse 4
She knew it was true.
She’d watched Him die, too.
She’d heard them call Him “just a man.”
But deep in her heart,
She knew from the start
Somehow her Son would live again.
Chorus
Then came the morning!
Night turned into day;
The stone was rolled away;
Hope rose with the dawn.
Then came the morning!
Shadows vanished before the sun;
Death had lost and life had won,
For morning had come.
