 The next evening, when the Sabbath ended,
Mary Magdalene and Salome and Mary the mother of James
went out and purchased burial spices to put on Jesus' body.
Very early on Sunday morning, just at sunrise,
they came to the tomb. On the way they were
discussing who would roll the stone away
from the entrance to the tomb.
But when they arrived, they looked up and saw
that the stone – a very large one –
had already been rolled aside.
So they entered the tomb, and there
on the right sat a young man
clothed in a white robe.
The women were startled, but the angel said,
"Do not be so surprised.
You are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene,
who was crucified. He isn't here!
He has been raised from the dead!
Mark 16:1-6
 Beloved followers of Christ Lift up the head the hangs Triumphant is the Lord of lords All glory to His name. Rejoice and praise our God above For prophecy fulfilled The Son of God came to this earth To walk Golgotha's Hill. Entombed within... guards standing by The grave would surely hold Bruised, beaten, tortured body of... Christ Jesus in their control? Scoffers jeered as mourners wept Their hearts did break into Little did they know that soon There'd be an empty tomb! The angel rolled away the stone Christ rose in victory The tomb is empty, come and see, O such sweet release. Death no longer holds her grip Christ has reconciled Through His death upon the Cross We now, can be His child. Thank God for the empty tomb Through Christ we'll rise again We'll live forevermore with Him Praise God, Praise God, Amen! ~~~**~~~ © 2006 Marie Williams
