lyrics

Mary burst into the room:
"We don't know where He is"
The light burned out, it flickered on
Their spirits leapt
"He lives?"
The aching in their bones returned
A necessary pain
It spurred them from the tomblike house
To face the empty grave

And John and Peter ran
And John and Peter ran
Hearts beating stronger than they could stand
To see Your face again

Our brother died of hopelessness
I'd asked the sky to fall
Some days I feel like weeping
Some days I don't feel at all
But then I call to mind a coffee shop
Or overseas hotel
And I'm reminded death is not the end
And all will soon be well

There is joy beneath the sadness
Even when my shadow's long
There is blessing in this madness
And the tears will write the song
Like my own road to Emmaus
My heart burns inside my chest
And the journey makes my songs feel small
And that smallness gives me rest

And John and Peter ran
And John and Peter ran
Hearts beating stronger than they could stand
To see Your face again

What did He say?
That all of these things
Must come to pass
This season will change

And John and Peter ran
And John and Peter ran
Hearts beating stronger than they could stand
To see Your face again...

To hear Your voice again...

To hold You in the end...
