Mary in the garden as the day began to dawn
Was weeping there for Jesus for she knew not where he had gone
Then Jesus spoke so softly and with these words he said
Go tell my disciples I have risen from the dead
There were three crosses made by the hands of evil men
The blood that stained the middle cross saved my soul from sin
They crucified the Savior and laid him in a grave
But God's Spirit woke him and he's living yet today
Two men were on their journey to a village not far away
They chanced to meet a stranger it was Jesus they say
He showed them in the scriptures that how he must arise
Oh how their hearts did burn within when they saw this man was Christ
There were three crosses made by the hands of evil men
The blood that stained the middle cross saved my soul from sin
They crucified the Savior and laid him in a grave
But God's Spirit woke him and he's living yet today
But God's Spirit woke him and he's living yet today
