Mary Magdalene
One morning was traveling
To anoint the body of the Lord
Her heart was heavy grieving
For she was still believing
She would never see Him anymore
His tomb was sealed with a stone
She couldn't move it alone
Wondering how it could be done
But there to her dismay
The stone had been rolled away
At the rising of the Son
At the rising of the Son
Salvation had begun
The war with death had just been won
At the rising of the Son
At the rising of the Son
Mary stepped into the tomb
And slowly looking through the gloom
Saw an angel there to her surprise
His face was all a shiny glow
His raiment as white as snow
Who he was she didn't recognize
But he told her not to be afraid
Come see the place where Jesus laid
Go and tell the others what's been done
As she ran on her way
She knew the best part of the day
Was at the rising of the Son
At the rising of the Son
Salvation had begun
The war with death had just been won
At the rising of the Son
At the rising of the Son
At the rising of the Son
