Alexander Lewis - Risen

Intro: 
N.C. 
(Slow, somber tempo) 

 
G              D              Em             C 
Deep within the garden in the shadows of the gray 
G               D              C              G 
Mary walked in silence at the breaking of the day 
G                D               Em             C 
Bringing oils and spices for the One she loved so dear 
G                 D               C                 G 
With a heart held heavy and a face stained by a tear 
 

 
G             C             G               D 
But the stone was rolled away, the tomb was open wide 
Em              C             G               D 
There was only empty space and linens left inside 
G             C             G               D 
He is not among the dead, the light began to bloom 
Em                C               D               G 
For there was no body found within that lonely tomb 
 

 
G                  D             Em                C 
She stood outside weeping and she bent to look once more 
G                 D                C              G 
Two angels sat in white beside the cold and rocky floor 
G                   D                 Em             C 
They asked her why she cried and who it was she sought today 
G                     D                  C                 G 
She said they took my Lord and I don't know where He might lay 
 

 
G             C             G               D 
For the stone was rolled away, the tomb was open wide 
Em              C             G               D 
There was only empty space and linens left inside 
G             C             G               D 
He is not among the dead, the light began to bloom 
Em                C               D               G 
For there was no body found within that lonely tomb 
 

 
Am                Em           C             G 
She turned around and saw a man standing in the light 
Am                   Em             C               D 
Thinking He's the gardener through the fading of her sight 
N.C. 
Then He spoke her name "Mary," and her heart began to race 
C                 G               D               G 
She looked upon her Master and she saw His living face 
 

 
G             C             G               D 
Oh the stone was rolled away, the tomb was open wide 
Em              C             G               D 
There was only empty space and linens left inside 
G             C             G               D 
He is not among the dead, the light began to bloom 
Em                C               D               G 
For there was no body found within that lonely tomb 
 

Outro: 

G               D              Em             C 
Go and tell the brothers that the Lord is risen now 
G               D              C              G 
Death has lost its power and the world begins to bow 
N.C. 
He is risen indeed.
