I posted these song lyrics last year, but woke up with them on my mind, so here they are again. And Happy Easter!

Last Night
by Marcia Henry
Performed by Karen Peck and New River
From The CD, "Journey of Joy"

Last night the disciples had supper with Jesus
Their last meal together before he was betrayed
After prayer in the garden, He was arrested
Tortured and questioned until the next day
That day the mob cried out, "Crucify Him"
The sweet Rose of Sharon was crushed on the cross
A rich man named Joseph took care of the body
While Mary and loved ones mourned their precious loss

Chorus
Last night they buried the Rose in the Garden
The fragrance of sorrow hung thick in the air
Satan was breathing a sign of relief
While angels were silently bearing their grief
God knew that His Son would arise with great power
But for now He was waiting and counting the hours

Verse 2
Mary and Martha spent the third morning
Gathering spices and watched for sunrise
the disciples were hiding, defeated and greiving
Too distraught to remember that Christ said He would rise
The soldiers were sleeping outside of the grave
Unaware that their prisoner was stirring inside
The stone rolled away, Jesus stepped from the darkness
The dawn of Grace had finally arrived

Chorus 2
This moring the Rose blooms in the garden
The fragrance of victory still fills the air
Last night there was weeping with no consolation
But this morning rejoicing in the God of Salvation
Today there is hope in the morning light
What a difference God made between now and last night
No matter how hopeless and final the night
It has to give way to the Son of pure light
