Magdalene

she is cloaked in morning’s darkness
magdalena
now running to the tomb
her heart is so consumed
the stone is rolled away
wherein lies my master
the one who brought to me such life
can you tell me why you’re weeping, magdalena?
have they taken him away?
is he not in the grave?
tell me who you’re seeking, magdalena?
the one that they have crucified
woman where’s your faith now
start believing
remember what he said
he’d come back from the dead
he’d never leave you or forsake you
do you believe that he’s the lord?
why would you seek, as you do,
the living among the dead?
he is not here, now do not fear
believe what he has said
do you seek the man of sorrows, magdalena?
then look into my eyes, and see that he’s alive
the spotless lamb of god now and forever
the holy one of israel
say to them
that i am risen and alive
victorious the lord and christ
god’s begotten son
can you tell me why you’re weeping, magdalena?
have they taken him away?
is he not in the grave?
i am the one you’re seeking, magdalena
i’m the resurection and the life
