who has pushed the stone aside?
Who has taken Jesus’ body—
Jesus Christ, the crucified?
2 Woman, waiting in the garden,
after men have come and gone,
after angels give their witness,
silently you watch the dawn.
3 Woman, walking in the garden,
Jesus takes you by surprise;
when the gard'ner calls you, “Mary!”
faith and joy meet in your eyes.
4 Woman, weeping in the garden,
weep for joy, for you have seen
Jesus, the Messiah, risen;
Christ, of whom the prophets dream.
5 Woman, dancing from the garden,
find the others and proclaim
Christ is risen as he promised;
tell the world he knew your name! Topics: Easter; Feminine Images; Mourning; Witness Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 Languages: English Tune Title: KAKIS
