Read Lyrics
I came to the garden while morning was breaking,
My heart was so heavy, my whole world was gone.
The stone had been moved, and the tomb stood there empty,
I searched through my tears in the hush before dawn.
They'd taken my Savior, and I couldn't find Him,
I stood there in sorrow, not knowing what to do.
The One who had loved me, who gave me forgiveness,
Was gone from the grave, and my heart broke in two.
I turned through my tears when a stranger stood near,
He asked why I wept, but His face wasn't clear.
I thought He was tending the garden that day,
And begged Him to tell me where Jesus now lay.
Oh, where is my Savior? Where can He be?
The One who brought mercy and healing to me.
I searched through the sorrow, I cried through the pain,
Not knowing my Savior was standing there again.
“Sir, if You have taken Him, tell me where He's lying,
And I'll go and find Him, wherever He may be.”
My eyes were so blinded by sorrow and crying,
I couldn't see Jesus was standing before me.
Mary.
Rabboni!
He spoke my name, and my heart knew His voice!
My Savior was living! My soul could rejoice!
The grave couldn't hold Him, death couldn't remain,
My Jesus was risen when He spoke my name!
I fell at His feet, overcome by His glory,
The sorrow of morning had vanished away.
He sent me to tell them the wonderful story,
That Jesus was living! He'd risen that day!
He knew me in sorrow, He knew me in pain,
He called me by name, and my hope lived again.
The darkness was broken, the stone rolled away,
And death had surrendered to life's glorious day!
He spoke my name, and my heart knew His voice!
My Savior was living! My soul could rejoice!
The grave couldn't hold Him, death couldn't remain,
My Jesus was risen when He spoke my name!
He spoke my name! Oh, what glorious grace!
I stood in the garden and looked on His face!
Forever I'll praise Him, forever proclaim,
My Savior is living! He spoke my name!
I went there in sorrow,
But joy came that day.
My Savior was living...
And He called me by name.
