Very Early Sunday Morning Lyrics | Coptic Orthodox Christian Resurrection Hymn | Erin M

Very early Sunday morning
While the guards were still asleep
Jesus is risen declaring
Victory, no more defeat
Jesus is risen declaring
Victory, no more defeat

CHORUS:
Resurrection is my song
Resurrection gave me life
Resurrection made me strong
Jesus, my Lord is alive
Resurrection made me strong
Jesus, my Lord is alive

[CHORUS]

Jesus is risen in glory
Heaven and earth sang and praised
And the angel told the story
He is risen as He said
And the angel told the story
He is risen as He said

[CHORUS]

Mary Magdalene was looking
In the garden for her Lord
While Jesus Himself was telling
Her to go and spread the word
While Jesus Himself was telling
Her to go and spread the word

[CHORUS]

All the disciples were praying
They were really in great fear
When Mary came to them saying
He is risen He is not here
When Mary came to them saying
He is risen He is not here

[CHORUS]

While they gathered in the room
Jesus Christ Himself appeared
Said My peace I gave to you
And My peace with you I leave
Said My peace I gave to you
And My peace with you I leave

[CHORUS]

But Thomas did not believe
What the disciples have seen
So Jesus Himself appeared
Showed him the place of the spear
So Jesus Himself appeared
Showed him the place of the spear

[CHORUS]

Tell the Marys no more mourning
Among the dead do not seek
For Jesus Our Lord is living
Giving power to the weak
For Jesus Our Lord is living
Giving power to the weak

[CHORUS]

Jesus My victorious Lord
Conquered the powers of Hades
And the thorns of death He broke
My salvation He declared
And the thorns of death He broke
My salvation He declared

[CHORUS]

The heavenly hosts were singing
Welcoming our glorious Lord
And the joy is overwhelming
He opened the doors of hope
And the joy is overwhelming
He opened the doors of hope
