EARLY IN THE MORNING

EARLY IN THE MORNING,

The women came to see…

Who would roll away the stone,

Their spices they wouldn’t need.

–

The stone was big and heavy

But had been rolled away…

Visions of angels

Met them on Resurrection Day.

–

All their sorrow gone

They hurried away to tell…

The rest of His disciples

Of the silenced death knell!

–

Peter and John came running–

Not all believed of course,

Until Christ appeared to them

Behind locked doors!

–

But seeing isn’t believing

As even Scripture tells,

Some had doubts, did not believe,

WITHOUT FAITH…the flesh kills.

–

Come to the feasting–

See the open grave,

Christ is risen Sunday

Believer’s souls to save!
