The Young Man Lyrics - Robin Mark

ALL on a Friday evening as the sun 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 

And faded as the sun descended lower still 

The ground was worn and bare where many feet had trod 

To watch the execution of the young man 

And what of me, so distant from that far, gone, place? 

Still the wonder of that moment crosses time and space 

With mystery and majesty none can explain 

For it draws me to the story of the young man.

The next day being Sabbath, was a day of rest 

And one of some reflection for the young man's friends 

No longer messianic zeal consumed their hearts 

Just sorrow for the killing of the young man 

Maybe some type of guitar sound added 

And I suppose some tears were shed 'til sleep came last 

Then rising early morning once the Sabbath passed 

A woman made her way to find the garden tomb 

To leave her oil and flowers for the young man

Now history tells of heavy stone to bar the way 

Was fixed by many soldiers on the open grave 

For when she found it rolled aside and emptied tomb 

She grieved the stolen body of the young man 

A gardener called her by her name as she kneeled down 

And asked her why she searched about the burial ground 

And wiping bitter tears away with the dawns first light 

She saw the risen glory of the young man.
