Untombed Lyrics - Exhumed Of The Earth - Paramaecium

At the dawning of the second morning from the execution day 

Women approached the private sepulchre where the dead Messiah lay 

They queried amongst themselves as to who would roll the stone away 

But then when they looked up they saw that providence held sway 

On entering the sepulchre where the Son of God had lain 

There were strips of cloth, garments of death, but no bodily remains 

The angel questioned "Why seek the living among the dead? 

He is not here, He is risen, just as He had said." 

They killed the author of life but God has raised Him from death 

He was not abandoned to the grave, nor did His body see decay 

After He had died He rose from the grave, untombed 

Now it came to pass as two men walked along Emmaus road 

The risen Himself drew near to them, was invited to their abode 

And it came to pass as He reclined with them He broke bread as day found night 

Their eyes were opened and they knew Him well 

Then He vanished from their sight 

Whilst the disciples assembled behind locked doors because they feared the Jews 

The risen Christ stood in their midst and He uttered "Peace to you." 

Filled with fear they trembled thinking Him to be a ghost 

But they clearly saw that He was flesh and bone 

Killed was the author of life but God has raised Him from death 

He was not abandoned to the grave, nor did His body see decay 

After He had died He rose from the grave, untombed 

(Forty days later) 

Then as He was speaking before the eleven 

He raised His hands in blessing and ascended to Heaven 

Where He is seated at the right hand of God
