On that first easter morning
As the sun began to rise
Mary went to find him
But she found to her surprise
The tomb where they had laid him
Was just an empty grave
For the power that was in him
Brought him up from the grave
Over the horizon
Look friends can't you see
Is that the son of god
Or he's coming back for me
The cry is getting louder even
So lord jesus come
I can't help but get excited
It's the rising of the sun
Many are my loved ones
Who've left the vacant place
For they'll be there to greet us
On that resurrection day
When there'll be a change sweep for me
And I'll be called away
He's a coming in the morning
At the break of day
Over the horizon
Look friends can't you see
Is that the son of god
Oh he's coming back for me
The quiet's getting louder even
So lord jesus come
I can't help but get excited
It's the rising of the sun
Over the horizon
Look friends can't you see
Is that the son of god
Oh he's coming back for me
The cry is getting louder even
So lord jesus come
I can't help but get excited
It's the rising of the sun
