Mary Magdalene

lyrics

Morning after
What consolation can I find for this sorrow upon sorrows
No more laughter
No greater loss have I had; can I make it to tomorrow
What dreadful madness has destroyed the Lord of love
The very One who set me free
Now I go to prepare this final service
for the One who did so much for me

What is that I feel - the earth is grieving too
What is that I see - the tomb is open wide
Where is Jesus' body - nowhere to be seen
Oh what's that angel saying to me
How could it be? How could it be?
How can I believe

He is alive, more alive than you and I
Just as he said, he rose from the dead,
two days after he died

Then a flood of tears overcomes me
And all of the years swirl through my mind
So far he has brought me. So much forgiven
And now only to be left alone
Could this be just wishful dreaming?

What if the impossible has actually occurred
Can I allow myself to believe in what I just heard
I don't know what to think. I don't really understand
All I want to know is where they've taken him.
Let me ask this man

You, sir, in the garden - can you tell me
Where has he been taken - Jesus' body
And then he gently speaks - the way he used to
"Mary"
In that moment that he spoke my name
my fears and doubts were washed away

Oh jubilation! Sing all of heaven! My Jesus is alive!
Oh celebration! Tell all the nations! Jesus is alive!

And a flood of tears overcomes me
And all of the years swirl through my mind
So far he has brought me. So much forgiven
Now I know that I'll never be alone
Jesus has risen

It amazes me that I should be so honored to be chosen
as the first to see you alive again, simply out of my devotion
Will they believe me when I say that I have seen and heard you
I'm certain they will when they hear you say their names too

about

Dale Lund Vancouver, British Columbia

I was born into a creative family, where jam sessions and art days were part of the fabric of our growing up. Faith in our one true Creator is the weave that held it all together. I've been writing songs since my teens. I like to tell stories in my songs. In each story is a glimmer of the grace held out to us in all aspects of life. I hope as you listen, you will hear and see it. ... more
