Rob Gardner – Mary Magdalene lyrics

NARRATION (Woman)
As it began to dawn toward Sunday morning, and while it was yet dark, came
Mary Magdalene early unto the sepulcher where they had lain Jesus.
And when she was come unto the garden, she seeth the stone taken away from
The sepulchre, and know not what it meant.

MARY MAGDALENE
What have they done? Removed Him? What have they done?

NARRATION (Woman)
Then she runneth, and cometh to Peter, and to John

MARY MAGDALENE
Cone and see! They have taken our Lord away!
Where He is, I know not! For the sepulcher's empty...

NARRATION (Woman)
And when they came to the sepulcher, they went in, and seeth the linen
Clothes lie, and the napkin that was about his head, wrapped together in a
Place by itself. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

CHOIR (Oooing Underneath)

NARRATION (Woman)
But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping;
And as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, and seeth
Two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain.

CHOIR (In Aramaic)
Antha mana
(Woman, why)

NARRATION (Woman)
And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou?

CHOIR (In Aramaic)
Antha mana bakya anti?
(Woman why weepest thou?)

MARY MAGDALENE
Because they have taken my Lord away,
Where He is, I know not.
I know not where they have laid him.

NARRATION (Man)
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus
Standing, and knew not that it was Jesus, but supposed him to be the
Gardener. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?

MARY MAGDALENE
Tell me, sir, If it be thou who hast bourne him hence,
Tell me where thou has laid him, And I'll take him away.

NARRATION (Man)
Jesus saith unto her, Mary.

MARY MAGDALENE
Master.

NARRATION (Man)
He saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father:
But go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father; and to
My God, and your God.
