: The Holy Gospel according to John

Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the

tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. 2 She

ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved.

She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t

know where they have put him!”

3 Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. 4 They were both

running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He

stooped and looked in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he didn’t

go in. 6 Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen

wrappings lying there, 7 while the cloth that had covered Jesus’ head was

folded up and lying apart from the other wrappings. 8 Then the disciple who

had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed— 9 for until

then they still hadn’t understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise

from the dead. 10 Then they went home.

11 Mary was standing outside the tomb crying, and as she wept, she stooped

and looked in. 12 She saw two white-robed angels, one sitting at the head and

the other at the foot of the place where the body of Jesus had been

lying. 13 “Dear woman, why are you crying?” the angels asked her.

“Because they have taken away my Lord,” she replied, “and I don’t know

where they have put him.”

14 She turned to leave and saw someone standing there. It was Jesus, but she

didn’t recognize him. 15 “Dear woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked

her. “Who are you looking for?”

She thought he was the gardener. “Sir,” she said, “if you have taken him

away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.”

16 “Mary!” Jesus said.

She turned to him and cried out, “Rabboni!” (Which is Hebrew for “Teacher”).

17 “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father.

But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and

your Father, to my God and your God.’”

18 Mary Magdalene found the disciples and told them, “I have seen the Lord!”

Then she gave them his message.

P This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Andrew Cave

Verse 1 I was buried beneath my shame Who could carry that kind of weight It was my tomb 'til I met You

Verse 2 I was breathing but not alive All my failures I tried to hide It was my tomb 'til I met You

Chorus ('Cause when) You called my name I ran out of that grave Out of the darkness into Your glorious day You called my name (and) I ran out of that grave Out of the darkness into Your glorious day

Verse 3

Now Your mercy has saved my soul Now Your freedom is all that I know

The old made new Jesus when I met You (Chorus)

Bridge I needed rescue my sin was heavy

But chains break at the weight of Your glory

Verse 3 Now Your mercy has saved my soul Now Your freedom is all that I know The old made new Jesus when I met You (Chorus)

Bridge I needed rescue my sin was heavy But chains break at the weight of Your glory I needed shelter I was an orphan Now You call me a citizen of Heaven When I was broken You were my healing Now Your love is the air that I'm breathing I have a future my eyes are open (Chorus)
