Key: C major•
Verse 1
went down
The body of a man
who wore a thorn made crown
Was carried to a graveyard
in the fading light
And laid with deep affection
in a garden
Up on the hill the shadow
of his gallows fell
Dm
And faded as the sun descended lower still
C
G
C
The ground was worn and bare where
many feet had trod
To watch the execution
Verse 2
of the young man
C
F
And what of me, so distant from that far,
Dm
C
Still the wonder of that moment
F

crosses time and space
With mystery and majesty
Dm

For it draws me to the story of
Dm

the young man
Verse 3
F
of rest
Dm
C
for the young man's friends
F
Dm
No longer messianic zeal con
sumed their hearts
C
Dm
C
Just sorrow for the killing of the young man
Maybe some type of guitar sound added
And I suppose some tears
once the Sabbath passed
A woman made her way to
Dm
F
find the garden tomb
C

To leave her oil and flowers for the young man

Verse 4
G
Dm
C
Now history tells of heavy
F
Dm
F
stone to bar the way
Dm
C
of the young man
A gardener called her by her
Dm
F
name as she kneeled down
C
Dm
C
She saw the risen glory of the young man
