Sunrise

Verse 1:

Why have You slept, oh rising Son?

Laying dormant, as I run?

I bring to Your feet,

The causes of my death,

And lay next to You, in Your glorious grave.

And as I shut my eyes,

You raised me above all these lies,

That have consumed my head,

Regarding Your holy death,

And I found the truth, in Your lovely Sunrise.

Refrain:

And Michael stands before me,

At the mouth of the tomb,

“Why do you seek the Living

Among the dead?”

Swaddled in a manger

Then swaddled in a grave,

He does not desire my death,

My own sunrise, He has paved

Verse 2:

From the outside of the tomb,

The wailing women’s voices did bloom,

But from inside Your grave,

Eternal life You gave,

And the prophets found, their Truth at last.

The morning Light spilled into darkness,

Conquering, triumphant, and victorious

For we are not bound up,

To Adam’s unrestrained hands,

But to the palms that were, nailed and bled Life.

Refrain:

And Michael stands before me,

At the mouth of the tomb,

“Why do you seek the Living

Among the dead?”

Swaddled in a manger

Then swaddled in a grave,

He does not desire my death,

My own sunrise, He has paved

Verse 3:

I am as greedy as the grave,

To its consuming force I am slave,

Like death, unsatisfied,

But out of the rock in the wilderness,

You have brought forth, the living water

In the garden, Adam plucks the fruit,

And in the garden, Christ plucks the cup,

And in the garden,

The Gardener appears to me,

And He will cultivate, in me a paradise

Refrain:

(And Michael stands before me,

At the mouth of the tomb,

“Why do you seek the Living

Among the dead?”

Swaddled in a manger

Then swaddled in a grave,

He does not desire my death,

My own sunrise, He has paved) x2
