Frantic, terrified, the womenrunning from the empty tomb.
Not a sense of resurrection,
more a sign of fear and gloom.
Who had run off with the body?
Were they watching somewhere near?
Were these mourners now suspected?
Should they hide? Their fate seemed clear.
Verses 3-5 follow
Tune: MERTON (Monk); ALL FOR JESUS
