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 I fell to the earth defeated and I cried

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
