Lyrics - Untombed by Paramaecium

At the dawning of the second morning from the execution day
Women approached the private sepulchre where the dead
Messiah lay
They queried amongst themselves as to who would roll the stone away
But then when they looked up they saw that providence held sway
On entering the sepulchre where the
Son of
God had lain
There were strips of cloth, garments of death, but no bodily remains
The angel questioned "
Why seek the living among the dead?
He is not here,
He is risen, just as
He had said."
They killed the author of life but
God has raised
Him from death
He was not abandoned to the grave, nor did
His body see decay
After
He had died
He rose from the grave, untombed
Now it came to pass as two men walked along
Emmaus road
The risen
Himself drew near to them, was invited to their abode
And it came to pass as
He reclined with them
He broke bread as day found night
Their eyes were opened and they knew
Him well
Then
He vanished from their sight
Whilst the disciples assembled behind locked doors because they feared the
Jews
The risen
Christ stood in their midst and
He uttered "
Peace to you."
Filled with fear they trembled thinking
Him to be a ghost
But they clearly saw that
He was flesh and bone
Killed was the author of life but
God has raised
Him from death
He was not abandoned to the grave, nor did
His body see decay
After
He had died
He rose from the grave, untombed(
Forty days later)
Then as
He was speaking before the eleven
He raised
His hands in blessing and ascended to
Heaven
Where
He is seated at the right hand of
God
