Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

They all walked away, with nothing to say

They'd just lost their dearest friend. All that He said, no He was dead, so this was the way it would end

The dreams they had dreamed, were not what they'd seemed, now that He was dead and gone

The garden, the jail, the hammer , the nail

How could a night be so long


Then came the morning, night turned into day. The stone was rolled away, hope rose with the dawn. Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun. Death had lost and Life had won, for morning had come


The angel, the star, the kings from afar

The wedding, the water , the wine. Noe it was done, they'd taken her son. Wasted before his time. She knew it was true, 

she'd watched him die too, she'd heard then call Him just a man. But deep in her heart, She knew from the start

Somehow her Son would live again


Then came the morning, night turned into day. The stone was rolled away, hope rose with the dawn. Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun. Death had lost and Life had won, for morning had come


Then came the morning , shadows vanished before the sun, Death had lost and Life had won, for morning had come
