He Is Not Here (Mary's Song)
(Perry Walp, David Davis) (2024)

verse 1
I saw Him die on Friday and we laid Him in the grave
I watched the soldiers come and roll the stone in place
I thought our dreams had vanished and I hid in sore disgrace
How could I've been so wrong and so afraid

Verse 2
I waited through the darkness till the dawn of the first day
I wondered who could help us move that stone away
As We approached the grave site saw the stone was out of place
Men in dazzling white were there to say

Chorus
He is not here He is risen as He said
He is not here why seek the living among the dead
He is not here death could not keep Him in its hold
He is not here go tell others what you behold

Verse 3
I waited in the garden, I could not believe my eyes
A man approached, I asked him tell me where He lies
I felt my heart explode over the voice I recognized
My Master spoke my name, yes He's alive

Bridge
No longer dead
He is risen
No longer dead
He is alive
No longer dead
He is resurrected
No longer dead
Yes, He's alive
An empty tomb
Is proof He saves

Chorus 2
He is not here He rose just as He said
He is not here don't seek the living among the dead
He is not here death could not keep Him in its hold
He is not here I must tell others what I know
