Song – ‘The Angel Of The Lord

 Sunday Morning, new day dawning
She was on her way
Hurried to the place they brought him
Only yesterday
Rushed up to the tomb and went
To where the body lay
The Angel of the Lord – ah!
The Angel of the Lord – ah!
The Angel of the Lord came down
And rolled away the stone.

Aaaah, Aaaah, Aaaah, Aaaah.

 Don’t be frightened, come and see
His body isn’t there
He has risen, as he told you
Don’t just stand and stare
Run and tell the friends of Jesus
He’s risen from the dead
The Angel of the Lord - ah!
The Angel of the Lord - ah!
The Angel of the Lord came down
And rolled away the stone.

Aaaah, Aaaah, Aaaah, Aaaah.

 Mary ran to tell the others
Scared to say a word
Head was spinning, would they find
Her story too absurd
Suddenly a figure
All in white was standing there
The Angel of the Lord - ah!
The Angel of the Lord - ah!
The Angel of the Lord came down
And rolled away the stone.

Aaaah, aaaah, aaaah, aaaah.
