Then Came the Morning!

One of the BEST songs I have heard depicting the Resurrection is by Ernie Haase and Signature Sound. It was originally written by Bill and Gloria Gaither and Chris Christian. It has been sung by many people including the Gaithers and Guy Penrod but my favorite rendition is by the Signature Sound quartet.

The name of the song is called (as my post title states) "Then Came the Morning". I have included the lyrics to it so that you can understand the feeling behind the song. The disciples must have been feeling this way: alone, confused, weary, a little scared and a while lot sad. How could everything they believed in have been destroyed when Jesus died? But THEN came the morning and they realized that everything they had hoped for and dreamed was even more wonderful than they ever imagined!

Unfortunately, I can't upload the audio of the song from their CD that I have, but here is the song from Guy Penrod. I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

Then Came the Morning

They all walked away
Nothing to say
They just lost their dearest friend
All that he said
Now he was dead
So this was the way it would end

The dreams they had dreamed
Were not what they seemed
Now he was dead and gone
The garden, the jail,
The hammer, the nail
How could a night be so long.

Chorus:
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

Verse:
The angel the star
The kings from afar
The wedding, the water, the wine
Now it was done, they taken her son
Wasted before His time

They knew it was true
They watched him die too
They heard them call Him just a man
But deep in her heart
She knew from the start
Somehow her son would live again

Chorus:
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
